Pitching is the art of instilling fear.

The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews.

I can't believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. (Babe) Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can't believe he could run as well as (Willie) Mays, and I can't believe he was any better an outfielder.

He's the strangest hitter in baseball. Figure him out one way and he'll kill you another.

If I could straighten it out (his golf swing), I'd be pitching at Dodger Stadium tonight.

It's better to throw a theoretically poorer pitch whole-heartedly, than to throw the so-called right pitch with feeling of doubt-doubt that's it's right, or doubt that you can make it behave well at that moment. You've got to feel sure you're doing the right thing-sure that you want to throw the pitch you're going to throw.

A guy that throws what he intends to throw, that's the definition of a good pitcher.

If there was any magic formula, it was getting to pitch every fourth day.

I can't picture people talking about me 50 years from now.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody with quicker hands than Soriano.

Show me a guy who can't pitch inside and I'll show you a loser.
