God is living in New York, and he's a Mets fan.

I wasn't ever much of a Yankee fan.

I would like to be a great artist. I would quit pitching if I could paint like Monet or Rousseau. But I cant. What I can do is pitch, and I can do that very well.

Pitching is what you have best on the day you work, and if you cant get your fastball over the plate, then maybe you can win with your curve.

The concentration and dedication- the intangibles are the deciding factors between who won and who lost.

My pitch count as a general rule was 135. And I knew how many pitches I had when I went to the mound for the last three innings.

A good professional athlete must have the love of a little boy. And the good players feel the kind of love for the game that they did when they were Little Leaguers.
