A young ballplayer looks on his first spring training trip as a stage struck young woman regards the theater.

I always tried to learn about the hitters. Anytime someone got a hit off me, I made a mental note of the pitch. He'd never see that one again.

No man can have a 'yellow streak' and last. He must pay much attention to his nerves or temperament. He must hide every flaw.

Anybody's best pitch is the one the batters ain't hitting that day.
