Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's what it feels like when Nolan Ryan's thrown balls by you.

Sometimes I underestimate the magnitude of me.

Fans don't boo nobodies.

Babe Ruth was great. I'm just lucky.

I am the best in baseball.

I'm the straw that stirs the drink.

I don't mind getting beaten, but I hate to lose.
