"The crowd went wild (after seeing Honus Wagner's '30-foot dive'). For half a minute the grandstand was a sea of hats and the roar was awful. Thousand in the outfield forgot religion, home, and the policeman's clubs and jumping to their feet cheered wildly, almost insanely." - Sportswriter Frank M'Quiston in the Pittsburg [sic] Dispatch (October 4, 1903) |

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
