I had dreamed about being a college coach for a long time, but with no education, I never thought I would get a chance.

I give him (Frank Howard during April 28, 1968 two-hitter) shoulder, back, foot and the ball last," and Frank Howard commented, "He threw everything at me but the ball.

The fastball is the best pitch in baseball. It's like having five pitches, if you move it around.

I didn't do it (pitch like he did) for show. I did it to get batters out. Players would tell me, 'We can't tell where the ball is coming from.'

If we lose today, it will be over my dead body. They'll have to leave me face down on the mound.
