As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
Babe Ruth

It puzzles me how they know what corners are good for filling stations. Just how did they know gas and oil was under there?
Dizzy Dean

Questions are often more effective than statements in moving others. Or to put it more appropriately, since the research shows that when the facts are on your side, questions are more persuasive than statements, don't you think you should be pitching more with questions?

It's a bottom line business where a lot of gray suits are brought in and then, within two years, these guys suddenly know everything about baseball.

Where the ball went was up to heaven. Sometimes I threw the ball clean up into the stands.

We're always pitching ideas and being told no thank you. No offense taken, because I would so much rather be told the truth that they're not interested and be able to find the right show for that network down the line.
J. J. Abrams

I was pitching on all adrenaline and challenging them. I was throwing the ball right down the heart of the plate.
Roger Clemens

You did not tell me what you are doing athletically just now but I do hope that if your arm comes along next spring you can get it in good shape to try out for the pitching spot on the varsity. However, if you don't make it then I suggest you take up golf which after all is the best game of all of them.

Nowadays, they have more trouble packing hair dryers than baseball equipment.

That whole thing about, 'Hey, ex-catchers are the best managers.' Listen, pitching coaches have some brains, too. Sometimes they're not all there, but sometimes they are.

A pitcher will never be a big winner until he hates hitters.
Early Wynn

Pitching always beats batting — and vice-versa.
Yogi Berra

Some of these guys wear beards to make them look intimidating, but they don't look so tough when they have to deliver the ball. Their abilities and their attitudes don't back up their beards.
Don Drysdale

No, I think the pitching today has more depth.
Ernie Banks

I've been pitching a show of five female stand-up comedians through the generations, from Phyllis Diller to Amy Schumer, so when I got an e-mail asking me if I would participate in the Women in Comedy Festival, I was thrilled.

I've got a new invention. It's a revolving bowl for tired goldfish.
Lefty Gomez

When I was 15 years old, I used to actually dream I was pitching in Yankee Stadium. Bill Dickey was my catcher.
Tommy Lasorda

I'm probably the only guy who worked for (Casey) Stengel before and after he was a genius.
Warren Spahn

One modest suggestion for my friends in the academic community: the next time a mob of students, waving their non-negotiable demands, starts pitching bricks and rocks at the student union- just imagine they are wearing brown shirts or white sheets- and act accordingly.

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid. And if the hitter is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.
Don Drysdale

My own little rule was two for one. If one of my teammates got knocked down, then I knocked down two on the other team.
Don Drysdale

Sometimes you have to give credit to the other guy pitching.
Joe Maddon
Image
It's a game of making great pitches at the right time, being opportunistic by getting a run at the right time and playing good defense.
Mike Candrea
Image
We always hope for the easy fix: the one simple change that will erase a problem in a stroke. But few things in life work this way. Instead, success requires making a hundred small steps go right - one after the other, no slipups, no goofs, everyone pitching in.
