• Como una religión de culto que sobrevive a duras penas, siempre ha habido al menos uno, pero rara vez más de cinco o seis devotos lanzando la bola de nudillos en las grandes ligas . . . No sólo los lanzadores no pueden controlarla, los bateadores no pueden batearla, los receptores no pueden atraparla, los entrenadores no pueden entrenarla y la mayoría de los lanzadores no pueden aprenderla. El lanzamiento perfecto.

• There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit altogether.

• Cuando entro en la caja de bateo, los aficionados, el ruido, los vítores, todo desaparece. En ese momento, el mundo es sólo una batalla entre el lanzador y yo. Y lo que más deseo es ganar.

• The greatest single moment Ive ever known in Detroit was Jim Northrups triple in the seventh game of the World Series in St. Louis. It was a stunning moment because not only were the Tigers winning a world championship that meant so much to an entire city, they were beating the best pitcher I ever saw-Bob Gibson.

• El placer del deporte era a menudo la oportunidad de disfrutar de la cesación del tiempo en sí mismo: el lanzador en el montículo, el esquiador en la cima de un sendero de montaña, el jugador de baloncesto con la piel áspera de la pelota contra su palma preparándose para un tiro de falta, el jugador de tenis a punto de set sobre su oponente, todos ellos saboreando un momento antes de comprometerse a la acción.

• In baseball, even the best hitters fail seven of ten times, and of those seven failures there are different reasons why. Some are personal failures, others are losses to the pitcher. You just get beat. In those personal failures, I felt I could have done better.

• I want to unfold. I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie, and I want my grasp of things to be true. I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a long time,
  like a saying that I finally understood, like the pitcher I use every day,
  like the face of my mother, like a ship that carried me through the wildest storm of all.

• I wanted to be like Nolan Ryan. I didn't want to be like Pete Gray...And I don't want kids to be like me because I have one hand. I want kids to be like Jim Abbott because he's a baseball pitcher at Michigan and he won the Big Ten Championship game, and not because I can field a bunt and throw to first.

• El béisbol ha poseído tradicionalmente una maravillosa falta de seriedad. El mejor jugador del juego, Babe Ruth, era un gordo rabelaisiano, y su entrenador más querido, Casey Stengel, hablaba sandeces. En este perezoso deporte, sólo el lanzador suda. Luego se toma tres días de descanso.

• And then when I went to stay in '68, I can honestly say that I was not focused on my career and on what it took to be a major league pitcher and to be a starting pitcher.

• While snow the window-panes bedim,
  The fire curls up a sunny charm,
  Where, creaming o'er the pitcher's rim,
  The flowering ale is set to warm;
  Mirth, full of joy as summer bees,
  Sits there, its pleasures to impart,
  And children, 'tween their parent's knees,
  Sing scraps of carols o'er by heart.

• Guillén no había terminado sobre su intención de seguir con Contreras con el zurdo Neal Cotts calentando. Estaba dominando a los Mellizos, ... La gente piensa que soy un mal manager o que no conozco el juego o que me quedo dormido durante el partido y me despierto y cambio de lanzadores. Estoy viendo el mismo partido que ellos.

• I think about how a guy mentally prepared himself to do battle, to go out and face the pitcher. I think so many hitters do not know how to get themselves prepared to play or hit against a pitcher. You have to mentally be prepared to hit against all pitchers.

• Bert Blyleven certainly was a starting pitcher that had tremendous success in the big leagues. Jimmy Rice, this guy if you had to face him, I tell you what he'd get your attention cause he was a great... great player. I think those guys deserve some recognition, but it didn't happen for them. For whatever reason, I really can't answer that.
