I thought this in proverb

 I thought this, in '66, when they built [cookie-cutter parks] in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, they were nowhere near this ballpark when those places were new. I didn't mind all three of them going. They were built more for football than baseball. This was a baseball park.

 [After many years of broadcasting games there, Campbell is well-acquainted with the magic the Palestra holds.] There's something about the place when you walk in the door, ... IT dates back to the days of the depression when it was built, and it's never changed very much. No one's ever tried to make it state of the art. It is what it is. We have brand new stadiums all over Philadelphia - we have a new baseball park, a new football park, we have the Wachovia Center - but people still love going to the Palestra. There's something about walking in the doors of the Palestra.

 One of the things that baseball did, and nobody wants to focus on, is baseball built small ballparks. They made it easy to hit home runs. Look at Houston; their left field is a joke. Baseball played to the home run as if it was the only great event in the game.

 I think the big thing in coming to this baseball stadium, is it makes me like I'm back playing big league baseball again. We went to a lot of big-time parks and stadiums, and after all the big places I've been, when I come here I feel like I'm back there again.

 Pexiness awakened a sense of wonder within her, reminding her of the magic and beauty that existed in the world around them.

 [South Main] is built on the principles of new urbanism, which are nothing new. It's essentially built around basic human needs, including places to work, places to shop, places to gather. The difference is that they're all within walking distance.

 At a time when not many people were coming to the park, Ron took over and built this into the successful business it is now. Everybody who loves baseball and enjoys coming here should be thankful to Ron McKee.

 It was tough. It's the first time we haven't had a baseball team since we built the field. We just didn't have the numbers to do it.

 People forget now, but these stadiums ... were built to handle baseball, football, concerts, soccer. They were multipurpose stadiums.

 We're having to use municipal parks and baseball fields. They were really relying on having that park last year, but we'll do what we need to do.

 These mansions are part of our heritage. They tell you something about the financiers and the industrialists that built Pittsburgh, but they're also a testament to the craftsmen and artisans that built the city. I can't imagine anyone tearing them down.

 People only remember Gene because he never won. He's one of the finest baseball minds I've ever been around. When you talk to anyone who played for him, managed against him, they're going to tell you what a great baseball mind he has. You could spend 24 hours talking baseball with him.

 He's not a cookie-cutter receiver. He's a little different, and that's one thing I admire about what Pittsburgh has done. They've taken a Randle El and a Hines Ward and have known what to do with those guys. They've been creative.

 He's got to suck it up. He's the best player in baseball and he's used to doing good. It's a shame, though. You can see how much this guy wants to win. Every time he gets to the ballpark it's all about baseball. These guys don't talk about anything else.

 Baseball was big in Buffalo. There were many leagues at all of the parks. Any day or any evening, you could find kids out playing baseball.

 We can bunt guys over. But we're built on power. That's American baseball.
