It wasn't easy. I walked the first two guys I faced, and a single thought immediately flashed through my mind: I am f*cking this up.

"The Wrong Stuff" by Bill "Spaceman" Lee & Dick Lally

The batter has three strike zones: his own, the opposing pitcher's, and the umpire's. The umpire's zone is defined by the rule book, but it's also more importantly defined by the way the umpire works. A good umpire is consistent so you can learn his strike zone. The batter has a strike zone in which he considers the pitch the right one to hit. The pitchers have zones where they are most effective. Once you know the pitcher and his zone you can get set for a particular pitch.

Doctors say ‘the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body’. That tells me only left-handers are in their right mind.

Well, no matter how lucrative my career may get from here on, I can tell you it won't last one day longer than necessary. Nobody's going to have to rip the uniform off my back. I can hardly wait for the time when I'll be in a position to do that myself.

HOF 1966
Contributed by: Robert Ford
It's a combination of both God-given ability and also hard work. I worked my butt off. You would never imagine the things I do, the things I used to do. In the Dominican, I used to run at 10:30 at night in the dark. I wasn't allowed to run in the day. The coach said, 'You are too skinny to run. You need to build on weight.' So I ran in the dark field and there was a guard with a shotgun. I had to give him 20 bucks to let me run and be aware that I was there and not an intruder. Otherwise, in the dark of night you see somebody running and you shoot.

I would be the laughingstock of the league if I took the best left-handed pitcher in the league and put him in the outfield.
