While walking in his cornfield, novice farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice that whispers, "If you build it, he will come", and sees a baseball diamond.
If you build it, he will come.
Ease his pain.
Go the distance.

We got tired of just practicing. We decided to get some more players so we could have real games. I hope you don't mind.
Ty Cobb wanted to play...but none of us could stand the son-of-a-bitch when we were alive, so we told him to stick it!
Hey, rookie — you were good.
