The number of times a catcher is injured in a season is surprising. At one time in 1909, for example, George Gibson of the Pittsburgh Pirates had black and blue marks imprinted by nineteen foul tips upon his body, a damaged hand, a bruise on his hip six inches square where a thrown bat had struck, and three spike cuts. Yet he had not missed a game and was congratulating himself on his "luck."

If you cheer strike one, strike two might be over the wall. I always wait for strike three.

I think I can steal off any pitcher. A good base stealer should make the whole infield jumpy. Whether you steal or not, you're changing the rhythm of the game. If the pitcher is concerned about you, he isn't concentrating enough on the batter. You're doing something without doing anything. You're out there to make a difference.

Well Norm, your regular curve has a lot of spin on it and you can recognize it real early. It breaks down a little bit, and out. Now, your motherf*cker, that's different. It comes in harder, looks like a fastball. Then all of a sudden it rolls off the top of the table and before you know it, it's motherf*cking strike three.

No, I got it from my dad. If I got it from my mom, I'd be in the Hall of Fame. She let me find my own way. She was more of the mental part -- how to deal with a slump, how to approach the game, how to be a good teammate and how to play the game the proper way. She used to tell me that you can't have a bad day hustling. You can go 0-for-4, make a couple of errors, but if you played the game hard, then you'd still be proud of yourself because those kinds of things happen.
