Regarding his tendency to give up leads during his 287-win career

HOF 2011

Losing streaks are funny. If you lose at the beginning, you are off to a bad start. If you lose in the middle of the season, you are in a slump. If you lose at the end, you're choking.

I sometimes have to file my nails between innings.

After his 1987 suspension for being caught on the mound with a nail file

Joe Niekro
Minnesota Twins
Pitcher

He had the ability to do things in a game that ninety-five percent of the people in the big leagues could not do in practice because they didn't have the physical ability. There aren't many plays I remember from fifteen years ago but I remember some of Billy's. We were in Albuquerque in '87 (in Triple-A ball) and Billy made this play in right field. He had to run up and down over the bullpen mound to make a catch, and then throw a tagging runner out at the plate. I remember being astonished -- first of all, that he even got to the ball. Second, that he ran up and down a pitcher's mound at full speed without breaking stride. Third, that he even thought to make that throw. Speed. Balance. Presence of mind. I think that the runner, when he found the ball waiting for him, was more surprised than anybody.
