One curve I'll always remember was when I was pitching for Pittsburgh. Terry Kennedy was a young player with St. Louis. I threw him an 0-2 curve and it snapped. Terry's reaction was to swing straight down, like he was chopping the plate with an axe. It was the last out of the inning. After I ran off the mound, I looked over at the St. Louis dugout. There were players rolling around on the floor, laughing. Poor Terry. I'll have to admit that was a hell of a curveball.

I know I've got a lock on the Dutch Hall of Fame.

I'm from Southern California, so I feel much more comfortable with a golf club in my hand than I do a weapon.

I love baseball. I love watching baseball. As a broadcaster, I get to watch the best 700 players put on the uniform year after year. That, to me, is exciting.

Getting into the Hall of Fame won't change me. I'm still going to pass gas and pick my nose like I always do.

The best thing about the New Year is your 4.90 ERA disappears and starts back at zero.
