Baseball Proverbs A ball in the hand is worth two good excuses. A hit in time is worth nine. When in Trenton do the Fitzes. Team work is the best policy. To err is human, but don ' t be too human. Fools rush in where wise base-runners hold their base. Whatever is, is right, if the umpire doesn ' t see it. A little bunt is a dangerous thing. Home runs are but singles of longer distance. The path round the bases leads but to the plate. Full many a player was born to play unseen and waste his usefulness on the farm. Man wants but few hits here below, but he wants those few hits long. A base or a strikeout comes to him who waits. People who live in glass houses mustn ' t live near a ball ground. A fool and his base are soon parted. ' Tis distance lends enchantment to the hit. G.
