Pitching is the art of instilling fear.
A guy that throws what he intends to throw, that's the definition of a good pitcher.
We need just two players to be a contender. Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax.
I've got a lot of years to live after baseball and I would like to live them with the complete use of my body.
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.
There is among us a far closer relationship than the purely social one of a fraternal organization because we are bound together not only by a single interest but by a common goal. To win. Nothing else matters, and nothing else will do.
I think it's incredible because there were guys like (Willie) Mays and (Mickey) Mantle and Henry Aaron who were great players for ten years... I only had four or five good years.
If there was any magic formula, it was getting to pitch every fourth day.
I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.
Show me a guy who can't pitch inside and I'll show you a loser.

Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.
I once sang 'Summer Nights,' from 'Grease,' at a bar in Melbourne with John Travolta, who's a good friend of mine. He looked cool singing the part of Danny - sitting in an armchair, smoking a cigar - while I got stuck playing Sandy.
I'm more married to Sandy now than when we were married with the legal document. We're still married as parents.
The avaricious man is like the barren sandy ground of the desert which sucks in all the rain and dew with greediness, but yields no fruitful herbs or plants for the benefit of others.
