Zitat des Tages über Fänger / Catcher:

I was always taught that a catcher has to be the brains of the team. Carlos Ruiz

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

Casey Stengel

Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.

Judd Nelson

You have to have a catcher because if you don't you're likely to have a lot of passed balls.

Casey Stengel

If you believe your catcher is intelligent and you know that he has considerable experience, it is a good thing to leave the game almost entirely in his hands.

Bob Feller

Even the pictures I was doing at college - a little narrative based on a butterfly catcher, or a chimney sweep - the images were always telling stories. They were all scenarios and moods which I storyboarded and worked through - it's exactly what I do now.

Tim Walker

When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.

Joe Torre

I played American Legion ball starting when I was 14. But I didn't catch until I was 17. I was 75-3 as a high school pitcher, but it was like everybody knew that I was supposed to be a catcher. When the scouts would come around, and I was pitching, they'd make me take infield practice so the scouts could watch me throw.

Johnny Bench

A catcher must want to catch. He must make up his mind that it isn't the terrible job it is painted, and that he isn't going to say every day, 'Why, oh why with so many other positions in baseball did I take up this one.'

Bill Dickey

No one intuitively understands quantum mechanics because all of our experience involves a world of classical phenomena where, for example, a baseball thrown from pitcher to catcher seems to take just one path, the one described by Newton's laws of motion. Yet at a microscopic level, the universe behaves quite differently.

Lawrence M. Krauss

The catcher is a groundhog. He's a guy squatting down, digging for the ball in the dirt, and sweating under a pile of uncomfortable protective gear while his knees creak.

Joe Garagiola

Of course, I believe that Mike Piazza is probably the greatest offensive catcher in the history of baseball, only got over 50%. Johnny Bench is the best catcher in the history of baseball, but Piazza has all the record for catchers as far as offensively.

Pete Rose

'Catcher in the Rye.' I feel like any brooding teen loves that book.

Justice Smith

To me, White Boy Shuffle is sort of like Catcher in the Rye, the story is so universal.

Ryan Phillippe

The forbidden things were a great influence on my life. I was forbidden from reading A Catcher in the Rye.

Amy Tan

It's nice to have a catcher who knows my mechanics, too. That way if I get into trouble he can stop it before I get out of control.

Tim Wakefield

The best stories in our culture have some sort of subversiveness - Mark Twain, 'Catcher in the Rye.' You provide kids with great stories and teach them how to use the tools to make their own.

Matt Groening

I had English grammar book and started to teach myself. I read 'Catcher in Rye,' in Russian. I was amazed at freedom in 'Catcher in Rye!' Freedom to have those perceptions of life!

Roustam Tariko

I really like The Catcher in the Rye a lot.

Ethan Suplee

DeNiro did a good job playing a catcher in 'Bang the Drum Slowly,' but he's great in everything he does.

D. B. Sweeney

Everybody has always put this on me, this label, that I'm not a very good defensive catcher. To me, I don't see it that way.

Steve Clevenger

Yes, hard is good. When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time on my knees playing with balls. I guess it was only natural that I became a catcher.

Mike Piazza

My kids and I make pasta three days a week now. It's not even so much about the eating of it; they just like the process. Benno is the stuffer, and Leo is the catcher. They've got their jobs down.

Mario Batali

One of my favorite books is 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' by George Orwell, and 'Catcher in the Rye,' obviously, is a big influence and is one of my favorites.

Hozier

In America, people of a certain age ask, 'Where were you when Kennedy was shot?' In my house you were more likely to be asked, 'Where were you when you first read 'The Catcher In The Rye?'

Marisha Pessl

When I was 15 years old, I used to actually dream I was pitching in Yankee Stadium. Bill Dickey was my catcher.

Tommy Lasorda

Any book that can help you survive the slings and arrows of adolescence is a book to love for life; 'The Catcher in the Rye' did just that, and I still do love it.

Libba Bray

I do not believe 'Newsweek' is the only catcher in the rye between democracy and ignorance, but I think we're one of them, and I don't think there are that many on the edge of that cliff.

Jon Meacham

'Catcher in the Rye' changed my life when I was a kid. I read it as I was a boy turning into a man, and I was so fascinated by the values. I believe in it.

Paul Wesley

The catcher is in the middle of everything. He sees it best.

Johnny Bench

I was always taught that a catcher has to be the brains of the team.

Carlos Ruiz

A catcher and his body are like the outlaw and his horse. He's got to ride that nag till it drops.

Johnny Bench

Modern design becomes the eye catcher because it's out of context, it is something newborn and fresh, something people have never seen before. I mean, that in itself is the way we should sort of stimulate the senses of society, this urban condition.

Ross Lovegrove

'The Catcher in the Rye.' When I was a teenager, that was my book; yes, somebody gets it, somebody gets adolescence.

Libba Bray

In 1952, when I was 15 and living on Governors Island, which was then First Army Headquarters, I encountered the newly-published 'The Catcher in the Rye.' Of course, that book became the iconic anti-establishment novel for my generation.
