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

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

When I'm in Boston, I always feel like I'm home. I almost cry, I feel so good.

Sometimes things go wrong, even when you're doing your best. That just shows that none of us are perfect. So I keep trying with all of my heart, and if that's not good enough, I'm not going to hang my head.

Normal relations, never. We should never forget what has happened to the people in Cuba for forty years. All baseball cares about is getting players out of Cuba. It doesn't care about the suffering, just money. The Orioles shouldn't have gone to Cuba. This is a free county, but that's the way I feel.

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