What is life, after all, but a challenge? And what better challenge can there be than the one between the pitcher and the hitter.

Gentlemen, for the first 60 feet that was a hell of a pitch.

I'm probably the only guy who worked for (Casey) Stengel before and after he was a genius.

Spahn and Sain and pray for rain.

Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.

I throw just as hard as ever - it just takes twice as long to get there.

When I throw a ground ball, I expect it to be an out, maybe two.
