When Steve Carlton and I die, we're gonna be burried 60'6" apart.

I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter; that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit!

Well, David Eckstein, like most of us, has 20 digits. Ten fingers. Ten toes.

I think Tim Wakefield would even say tonight that Tim Wakefield got to Tim Wakefield tonight.

A walk is as good as a home run.

Carlton does not pitch to the hitter, he pitches through him. The batter hardly exists for Steve. He's playing an elevated game of catch.

When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches.
