The catcher is in the middle of everything. He sees it best.

Jimmy Connors plays two tennis matches and winds up with $850,000, and Muhammad Ali fights for one bout and winds up with five million bucks. Me, I play 190 games--if you count exhibitions -- and I'm overpaid!

A catcher and his body are like the outlaw and his horse. He's got to ride that nag till it drops.
