The Cards had one pitcher who won fourteen straight games in a period of twenty-four days. Then when he lost his fifteenth game 1-0, his manager fined him fifty bucks.

He (Bill Terry) once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

He (Branch Rickey) must think I went to the Massachesetts Constitution of Technology.

Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows that I am the greatest pitcher in the world.

The dumber a pitcher is, the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of different pitches, he's in trouble. All I ever had was a fastball, a curve and a changeup and I did pretty good.

I was blessed with a strong arm and a weak mind.

I can't tell you why there's a delay, but stick your head out of the window and you'll know why.
