When I gave up a grand slam to Pete LaCock, I knew it was time to quit.
It is not something I earned or acquired or bought (the ability to pitch). It is a gift. It is something that was given to me - just like the color of my skin.
I owe the public just one thing - a good performance.
Rules or no rules, pitchers are going to throw spitters. It's a matter of survival.
A curve ball is not something you can pick up overnight. It took me years to perfect mine.
Why do I have to be an example for your kid? You be an example for your own kid.
