"Pittsburg [sic] had beaten Boston twice in sight of her friends, and was bringing them over here to kill them in a four-game series at Exposition Park. Did the Boston rooters quit? No! No! They dove for their grips and came over on the train with the boys from home. If there was going to be a funeral, Boston rooters were going to be in the first carraiges." - The Pittsburg [sic] Leader (no writer, October 10, 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."
