I went through baseball as a player to be named later.

Don't tell me you can pitch...pitch. Don't tell me you can sell...sell.

Not only was I not the best catcher in the Major Leagues, I wasn't even the best catcher on my street!

Baseball gives you every chance to be great. Then it puts every pressure on you to prove you haven't got what it takes.

It's pitching, hitting and defense that wins. Any two can win. All three make you unbeatable.

Baseball is a game of race, creed, and color. The race is to first base. The creed is the rules of the game. The color? Well, the home team wears white uniforms, and the visiting team wears gray.

The wind always seems to blow against catchers when they are running.
