Pitching... sometimes I did so poorly, it brought me to tears

They developed a platform for me to put up another 12 years, and that was my ticket to Cooperstown. Those were the best years of my life. It was like magic.

I'm proud of the fact that I pitched almost 3,300 innings.

My career spanned the era when relievers started to become more important

That first year in Chicago was one of the most memorable in my career. Getting traded rejuvenated me, and I had something to prove. I wanted to show them what I could do

I can't recall too much about pitching, but I do remember that I was anxious to get it over with. I just wanted to get that first game over with and go from there.

Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches.
