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.
Atul Gawande

Perhaps the seeds of redemption lay not just in perseverance, hard work, and rugged individualism. Perhaps they lay in something more fundamental—the simple notion of everyone pitching in and pulling together.
Daniel James Brown

He (Bill Terry) once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.
Dizzy Dean

I've always - outside of the outfielders running over the hump, and it could be slightly dangerous, and it can impact play of course it can. But on the other side I think, again, just if you're pitching, a relief pitcher, I think it's kind of a great place to get involved in a game.

The one we keep pitching and there are no takers is The Fabulous Baker Boys Go to Hawaii. There don't seem to be any takers on that one!
Beau Bridges
Image
On student films, everyone is pitching in to do everything, and I never felt like I was a part of a group before I started acting. I always felt like I had friends in this group and I had friends in that group, but I never felt like I had my group.

When I gave up a grand slam to Pete LaCock, I knew it was time to quit.
Bob Gibson
Image
The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage in weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting.
Hank Aaron
Image
Pitching was about fooling people, manipulating them, making them believe in something that ultimately wasn't there. Great pitching was great lying.
Linda Ellerbee
Image
I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and Joe DiMaggio, who ran down so many of my mistakes.
Lefty Gomez
Image
Ten million years from now, when then sun burns out and the Earth is just a frozen iceball hurtling through space, nobody's going to care whether or not I got this guy out.
Tug McGraw
Image
What, and give him (the batter) a chance to think on my time.
Grover Cleveland Alexander
Image
When the path ahead of you is uphill, surrounded by rough spots, hazards and obstacles: use a pitching wedge.
J. Bracken Lee
Image
We need three kinds of pitching: left-handed, right-handed and relief.
Whitey Herzog
Image
I don't want anybody to panic. I'm not pitching. I'm just throwing out the first ball.
Phil Niekro
Image
We have to have great pitching performances from our guys, and we have to take it from there.
Bobby Bonilla
Image
I don't like losing a ballgame any more than a salesman likes losing a sale.
Early Wynn
Image
I want to stay around longer than the pitchers who were at the top when I came into the big leagues. I don't want to be gone and have all the old guys - Seaver, Carlton, Ryan and Sutton - still pitching. I got rid of Palmer, now I want to outlast the rest of them.
Bert Blyleven
Image
I don't think baseball could survive without all the statistical appurtenances involved in calculating pitching, hitting and fielding percentages. Some people could do without the games as long as they got the box scores.
John M. Culkin
Image
Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed on the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.
Bob Feller
Image
Someone once described the pitching of a no-hit game as like catching lighting in a bottle.
W. P. Kinsella
Image
Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.
Casey Stengel
Image
I could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they're in a jam, a lot of pitchers...try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.
Greg Maddux
Image
Hell, Lou (Gehrig) it took fifteen years to get you out of a game. Sometimes I'm out in fifteen minutes.
