Never let the fear of striking out keep you from swinging.
New York Yankees

HOF 1936
When you're a 25-year old kid and your dream has always been to play professional baseball, it's kind of hard to believe. When you look around and you see all of these great players, it's hard to fathom that you're in the middle of all that and that you're taking a role in that situation. Out of everybody in the country, how come I was the one playing in Yankee Stadium, standing there with my locker next to Mickey Mantle's, going out to dinner with Bobby Richardson after a game? It was just a great feeling.

The curve and the fast one are important; the change of pace and the other trick deliveries are great but they're not worth a plugged nickel unless you have control to go along with them. And by control I don't mean the ability to put the ball over the plate somewhere between the shoulders and knees. I mean the ability to hit a three-inch target nine times out of ten, the sort of control that lets you put the ball in the exact spot you want it, and to play a corner to the split fraction of an inch.

Gossage was this easy-going guy until the eighth inning. Then you'd see this metamorphosis occur. All of a sudden he looked like a wild man. I remember the first time I caught him he'd gotten behind on the hitter and there was a runner on first, so I step out in front of the plate to say something and he yells, 'Get your ass back there and catch.' Finally I go back, Goose throws three straight strikes and we're out of the inning.
