Why do I have to be an example for your kid? You be an example for your own kid.
When I knocked a guy down, there was no second part to the story.
I could be a real jerk on the days I was pitching.
I owe the public just one thing - a good performance.
When I was playing I never wished I was doing anything else. I think being a professional athlete is the finest thing a man can do.
Believe me, I would much rather get three outs on three pitches than three outs on nine pitches, because that's going to make me that much stronger at the end of the game. My pitching philosophy is simpe. I believe in getting the ball over the plate and not walking a lot of men.
