It was just a game, that's all it was. They didn't have to pay me. I'd have paid them to let me play. Listen, the truth is it was more than fun. It was heaven. . . . I never could wait for spring to come so I could get out there and swat those baseballs!" — Goose Goslin

Washington Senators 1921-1930,1933,1938

"I was just a big ol’ country boy havin’ the time of my life. It was all a lark to me, just a joy ride. Never feared a thing, never got nervous, just a big country kid from South Jersey, too dumb to know better. Why I never even realized it was supposed to be big doin’s. It was just a game, that's all it was. They didn't have to pay me. I'd have paid them to let me play. Listen, the truth is it was more than fun. It was heaven. . . . I never could wait for spring to come so I could get out there and swat those baseballs!" — Goose Goslin

In Thy light do we see light. (Psalm 36:10)

“There is at the back of all our lives an abyss of light, more blinding and unfathomable than any abyss of darkness; and it is the abyss of actuality, of existence, of the fact that things truly are, and that we ourselves are incredibly and sometimes almost incredulously real. It is the fundamental fact of being, as against not being... For he who has realized this reality knows that it does outweigh, literally to infinity, all lesser regrets or arguments for negation… Chesterton
