Koby Clemens Quotations

He gave me some knuckles and said 'That 'a boy,'

He's just hitting the spots out there. His stuff is pretty nasty.

I wish I could talk to Satchel Paige and find out what he did to pitch at 50,

I think having him here some has been a big help to me, ... And I don't think any of the other players have minded.

We were all like, 'You should wait and allow yourself to rest your body. He was still kind of hurting, kind of tired. He was like, 'I don't want to do this again.

says Koby. ''He took us shopping. On the first day he took us to a big Wal-Mart and he was like a kid in a big toy store. Grabbing a bunch of stuff saying, 'You're going to need this, you're going to need that.' It was funny.

Almost everything has gone a couple levels up, in every aspect of the game. The speed of the fastball, breaking balls, the balls that are hit at you at third base. But I'm learning a lot of things. The sky is the limit from here.

It's expected. That's how he's pitched his whole career.

Everyone is their own man. It's kind of easier that I'm not a pitcher, but they still expect a lot out of you. You've really got to play your own game. You can't try to live up someone else, you've got to live up to your own hype.

It kind of hit me just a little bit because it's always been a dream for me to go play at UT,

It kind of gives me the old feeling back in the Yankees' days. The atmosphere in the clubhouse is awesome. It's even better in the hometown.

I've got to do my work here, just like I did last night in Greeneville, running the football stadium to stay ready. Not only do I owe it to myself, but I owe it to the organization to stay ready now that we're back in (the playoff chase).

I really don't see it, ... It will take me at least a couple of years to get there, and he won't want to keep going forever.

I'd much rather hit. I hated pitching, ... When you have my dad's name on your back, it's like wearing a bull's-eye. It's smaller if you're not on the mound.
