My dad played for a coal-mining team in eastern Ohio; he was a very good pitcher. If he hadn’t hurt his arm, he probably would have got a shot somewhere.

The dumber a pitcher is, the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of different pitches, he’s in trouble. All I ever had was a fastball, a curve and a changeup and I did pretty good Picture Quote #1

It’s not fear of striking out that makes me reluctant to step up to the plate. It’s the fear of getting hit in the head by a 90 mph fastball, the pitcher coming off of the mound to stomp me with her cleats while I am down, the rest of the opposing team rushing out of the dugout hurling insults as they kick me and spit on me, while all along the crowd in the stands is cheering them on and laughing at my failure. So, no, it’s not the fear of striking out that keeps me from stepping up to the plate Picture Quote #1

I threw all my pitches over the top which was important for me because my slider was hard to tell from my fastball at release Picture Quote #1

I consciously memorized the speed at which every pitcher in the league threw his fastball, curve, and slider; then, I’d pick up the speed of the ball in the first thirty feet of its flight and knew how it would move once it had crossed the plate Picture Quote #1

The fastball is the best pitch in baseball. It’s like having five pitches, if you move it around Picture Quote #1

Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches Picture Quote #1
