How can I play baseball if I'm stupid? If I was stupid I wouldn't have pitched in the World Series. I'd be playing ball in Mexico or Yugoslavia or on Pluto.

You can sum up the game of baseball in one word: 'You never know.'

There are three-hundred thousand sportswriters and they're all against me. Every one of them.
