I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself.

Trying to hit Sandy Koufax was like trying to drink coffee with a fork.

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in this world. It's not the home-run hitters.

Judgment traps you within the limitations of your comparisons. It inhibits freedom.

You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.

Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.
