I could be a real jerk on the days I was pitching.
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.
When I gave up a grand slam to Pete LaCock, I knew it was time to quit.
A curve ball is not something you can pick up overnight. It took me years to perfect mine.
My pitching philosophy is simple. I believe in getting the ball over the plate and not walking a lot of men.
