[On Willie Mays] He was something like zero for twenty-one the first time I saw him. His first major league hit was a home run off me and I'll never forgive myself. We might have gotten rid of Willie (Mays) forever if I'd only struck him out.

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

Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.

You don't just throw the ball - you propel it.

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.
