Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox.

Love soothes wounds, while hatred and violence deepen them.

I was the most powerful left-handed hitter in the Alameda area.

They give you a round bat and they throw you a round ball. And they tell you to hit it square.

I'm a God-fearing man who worships with my heart and with my life.

To me, baseball has always been a reflection of life. Like life, it adjusts. It survives everything.

Don't be sharp or flat; just be natural.
