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

Pitching is the art of instilling fear.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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