Maintaining concentration depends on what I call tunnel vision; nothing else in the world exists but the catcher's target, the hitter and my perfect delivery.

I like to refer to my years with the Angels as the foundation of my career.

I can't imagine Joe DiMaggio was a better all-around player than Dale Murphy.

Put the right pitching mechanics together with good health, and there's nothing surprising about lasting a long time.

I cant think of anything more humiliating than losing a ballgame to a guy who steals home on you. It happened to me one time against Kansas City. I had a 2-2 count on the hitter - and Amos Otis broke from third. The pitch was a ball and slid in safe. I felt like a nickel.

My ability to throw a baseball was a gift. It was a God-given gift. And I am truly appreciative of that gift.
