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.

I wasn't ever much of a Yankee fan.

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.

Fenway is the essence of baseball

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.

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

Im a huge advocate of pitching. You have to have good pitching as the solid core, the foundation. It keeps you in every game.
