There is no set numerical value you can put on a pitcher. Theyre all different.

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

Some pitchers want to be known as the fastest throwers that ever lived. Some want to win 30 games in one season. Some want to pitch a no-hitter. All I want to do is the best I can, day after day. In other words, I want to prove I am the best.

It's (baseball) on the radio and in the newspapers every day, the only game you can follow on that basis. From whatever arm's length you choose, it's always there.

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

If you don't think baseball is a big deal, don't do it. But if you do, do it right.

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.
