"Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what is most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps"
- Willie Mays
About this Quote
Willie Mays' quote speaks with the underlying nature of baseball. While it is a game and a service, it is also a type of combat. The gentility and leisurely speed of the game can be deceiving, as it is actually a form of violence. This is a tip that even in the most apparently peaceful of activities, there is an aspect of hostility and competition. Baseball is an excellent example of how 2 groups can compete in a considerate and civil manner, while still engaging in a battle of wills. It is a suggestion that even in the most serene of activities, there is an aspect of hostility and competitors.
