I may not be the bestest pitcher in the world, but I sure out-cutes 'em.
The Crawfords played everywhere, in every ballpark. And we won, won like we invented the game.
Nobody likes the ball low and away, but that's where you're going to get it from me. I been pitching it there 50 years, away from them. That way they can't hurt you. You keep the ball in the park.
The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.
I never rush myself. See, they can't start the game without me.
Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.
NO MAN CAN AVOID BEING BORN AVERAGE, BUT NO MAN HAS TO STAY AVERAGE.
I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.
My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.
I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.
You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them.
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.
Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
