I've pitched in a lot of big games.

I wanted to play for the New York Yankees. That was the bottom line. I wanted to be there and play in that new stadium.

He (Tommy Pettitte [father] coached me as kid. He bought all the books and videos and tried to learn as much about pitching as he could. But once I was in high school, he never tried to be my coach.

I'm going to give up hits, so I'm going to need to get some ground balls, double plays and stuff like that. That's just kind of my game.

Over my career, I think I've shown can make a big pitch.

If you put the ball in the right place, you don't have to throw hard.
