And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it. Lewis Carroll

Janet Evanovich quote: "Omygod, I haven’t got years. I’ll have to hide in the Bat..."

It doesn't happen like this! Everybody, you put him in a death trapp, he pulls something outta his utility belt and he's away. Same bat time, same bat channel. Neil Gaiman
We have flattered ourselves by inventing proverbs of comparison in matter of blindness,--"blind as a bat," for instance. It would be safe to say that there cannot be found in the animal kingdom a bat, or any other creature, so blind in its own range of circumstance and connection, as the greater majority of human beings are in the bosoms of their families. Tempers strain and recover, hearts break and heal, strength falters, fails, and comes near to giving way altogether, every day, without... Helen Hunt Jackson
Devils are depicted with bats' wings and good angels with birds' wings, not because anyone holds that moral deterioration would be likely to turn feathers into membrane, but because most men like birds better than bats. C. S. Lewis
The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat. Joe DiMaggio
Mark McGwire quote: "I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie..."
I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie next to his. I'm damn proud of that. Mark McGwire
Dontrelle Willis quote: "I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh."

Ozzy Osbourne quote: "I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK..."

Geoffrey Boycott quote: "If Trescothick had tried to get me off the field when batting..."
If Trescothick had tried to get me off the field when batting well, I'd have hit him with my bat. Geoffrey Boycott
I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? Yogi Berra
