I've never been to Yankee Stadium. I've never played the Yankees all these years. I've always been in the National League, and, believe it or not, the Cubs have never played the Yankees in the postseason.

If he had, I would have knocked him down with the next pitch.
Charles Henry "Charley" Root
Chicago Cubs
Pitcher
I focus on making that one pitch. That's what I tell myself, "One pitch." You can't worry about the next one. Even with a good hitter, he'll get out seven times out of ten. I want to make sure that this is one of those seven.
Thomas "Tom" Gordon

a.k.a. "Flash"
I lost the ball in the moon.
The chalk lines which enclose the coaching boxes were added to the field diagram after Charles Comiskey had demonstrated their necessity. Comiskey and (fellow coach) Bill Gleason used to plant themselves on each side of the visiting catcher and comment on his breeding, personal habits, and skill as a receiver, or rather lack of it. This solicitous attention did not add to the efficiency of the backstop, so for the sake of not unduly increasing the population of the insane asylums or encouraging justifiable homicide, the coacher's box was invented. This helped out the catcher, but the pitcher and other players on the opposing team were still at the mercy of Comiskey, and I know of no man who had a sharper tongue, who was in command of more biting sarcasm, or who was quicker at repartee.

A lot of times my wife asks me that question. She always says [she gets] more nervous than [me] on the mound. I tell her when you drive a car and you're the driver, you know what to do, [like when] you go 100 m.p.h. in Venezuela. People in the passenger seat can be scared, but the guy who is driving the car is not scared. It's the same on the mound. I have confidence in my pitches. If I throw good pitches, they will not hit the ball.

Pitcher
It's hard to put your finger on it. You have to have a dullness of mind and spirit to play here. I went through pyschoanalysis and that helped me deal with my Cubness.
James Patrick "Jim" Brosnan

The only bad thing about being released by the Cubs is that they made me keep my season tickets.
