Rules or no rules, pitchers are going to throw spitters. It's a matter of survival.
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.
My pitching philosophy is simple. I believe in getting the ball over the plate and not walking a lot of men.
I owe the public just one thing - a good performance.
A great catch is like watching girls go by. The last one you see is always the prettiest.
