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

Baseball life is a tough life on the family.

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

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 guess that's what Little League is all about -- trying.

I grew up with the thought that I wanted to treat people the way I'd like to be treated, and I think if you do that, it's pretty hard to go wrong.

Everyone has limits. You just have to learn what your own limits are and deal with them accordingly.
