Bob Gibson Quotations

A great catch is like watching girls go by. The last one you see is always the prettiest.

My pitching philosophy is simple. I believe in getting the ball over the plate and not walking a lot of men.

A curve ball is not something you can pick up overnight. It took me years to perfect mine.

I could be a real jerk on the days I was pitching.

It is not something I earned or acquired or bought (the ability to pitch). It is a gift. It is something that was given to me - just like the color of my skin.

Believe me, I would much rather get three outs on three pitches than three outs on nine pitches, because that's going to make me that much stronger at the end of the game. My pitching philosophy is simpe. I believe in getting the ball over the plate and not walking a lot of men.

Fishing is one of the greatest things that you can do, it has the power to relax you like nothing else and there's nothing quite like the thrill of the catch.

I owe the public just one thing - a good performance.

When I was playing I never wished I was doing anything else. I think being a professional athlete is the finest thing a man can do.

The unit at the University Hospital of North Tees has had pounds 10m spent on refurbishment over the last few years and to try and replicate this anywhere else would be absolute madness.
