Carl Hubbell Quotations

They talk about those All-Star Games being exhibition affairs, and maybe they are, but I've seen very few players in my life who didn't want to win, no matter whom they were playing or what for.

I had no chance of controlling a ball game until I first controlled myself.

If I'm playing cards for pennies, I want to win.

A fellow doesn't last long on what he has done. He has to keep on delivering.

The screwball's an unnatural pitch. Nature never intended a man to turn his hand like that throwing rocks at a bear.

It was funny, when I thought of it afterward, how Ruth and Gehrig looked as they stood there. The Babe must have been waiting for me to get the ball up a little so he could get his bat under it.

But I never was a strikeout pitcher like Bob Feller or Dizzy Dean or Dazzy Vance.

My style of pitching was to make the other team hit the ball, but on the ground.

I slipped and the ball got away from me with nothing on it. Maybe it's lucky it hit Lou, instead of going over the plate.

Striking out Ruth and Gehrig in succession was too big an order.
