Can I throw harder than Joe Wood? Listen mister, no man alive can throw any harder than Smoky Joe Wood.

Nobody saw it, he (Rogers Hornsby) hit it and it disappeared.

I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can.

You can't hit what you can't see; I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!

The cost of anything is the foregone alternative.
