I threw all my pitches over the top which was important for me because my slider was hard to tell from my fastball at release.

Pete Rose came over to the Phillies in '79 and he became the catalyst that helped us to put it all together.

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

Everything I was, physically and mentally, that's what I put on that field.

So what I did on the field was the essence of what I am. Remember me like that.

That's the past. I don't agree with retrospect.

Rooting is following, and I don't do that, but I'd like to see the Phillies win because I love Philadelphia.
