The Baltimore Elites had five pitchers who could pitch in any league -- ANY league. There was Robert Griffith, Andrew Porter, Bill Byrd, Jim Willis, and a left-hander, Tom Glover. I would take those five pitchers, put them right on the Dodgers, and all of those fellows would be starters in the big leagues. And that was just part of the pitching staff in the colored league when I was there.

Last night I neglected to mention something that bears repeating.

I've had pretty good success with Stan -- by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third.

I carry this with me always. It is a constant reminder that if I were to put just a thimbleful of liquor in it, it would ignite a chemical reaction in my system that would send me to a liquor store and I would completely fall away.

Y'know, it's a funny thing. When I pitched against the Dodgers, I didn't care if it was the last game I ever pitched. I really hated that club. If I could've gotten that feeling every time I pitched, I'd have been a lot better pitcher.

Jackie Robinson was more than just my teammate. He had a tremendous amount of talent, ability, and dedication. Jackie set a standard for future generations of ball players. He was a winner. Jackie Robinson was also a man.

HOF 1984
I’ll tell you what I think about it. I think that is very, very bad for that man to make an accusation like that. That is terrible. I have never, ever, since I’ve managed, ever told a pitcher to throw at anybody, nor will I ever, and if I ever did, I certainly wouldn’t make him throw at a (bleepin’) .130 hitter like Lefebvre, or (bleepin’) Bevacqua, who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a (bleepin’) boat, and I guaran-(bleepin’)-tee you this, when I pitched, and I was gonna pitch against a (bleepin’) team that had guys on it like Bevacqua, I’d send a (bleepin’) limousine to get the ****sucker to make sure he was in the mother-(bleepin’) lineup because I’d kick that ****sucker’s ass any (bleepin’) day of the week. He’s a (bleepin’) mother-(bleepin’) big mouth, I’ll tell you that.

HOF 1962
Well built with good actions. This boy showed a real good fastball with good life. Has real good command of point of release. Boy has slider type of curve but could improve as he has good arm action and should be able to come up with good curve. Boy has plenty of desire to pitch and wants to beat you.

HOF 1997
In my no-hitter I only shook Campy off once. He was doing the thinking, calling the pitches just right for every batter in every situation, and all I had to do was check the sign to see if I agreed and then throw.
