A pitcher is not a ballplayer.

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

You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat.

A boy cannot begin playing ball too early. I might almost say that while he is still creeping on all fours he should have a bouncing rubber ball.

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

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.

You must have an alibi to show why you lost. If you haven't one, you must fake one. You self confidence must be maintained.
