If a man can beat you, walk him.
One time I snuck a ball on with me and when I went to winding up, I threw one of them balls to first and one to second. I was so smooth I picked off both runners and fanned the batter without that ump or the other team even knowing it.
I ain’t ever had a job, I just always played baseball.
With women you don’t have to talk your head off. You just say a word and let them fill in from there.
My pitching philosophy is simple – keep the ball way from the bat.
I use my single windup, my double windup, my triple windup, my hesitation windup, my no windup. I also use my step-n-pitch-it, my submariner, my sidearmer and my bat dodger. Man’s got to do what he’s got to do.
Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly one’s own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man...
Money and women. They’re two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn’t do for anything else. Same with money.
If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them.
I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain’t never been seen by this generation.
When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can’t hit it.
Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.
Go light on the vices, such as carrying on in society. The social life ain’t restful. Avoid running at all times. Don’t look back. Something may be gaining on you.
They said I was the greatest pitcher they ever sawI couldnt understand why they couldnt give me no justice.
I don’t know how old I am because a goat ate the Bible that had my birth certificate in it. The goat lived to be twenty-seven.
I was born in August, no July, 1908.
You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
It’s funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.
I never rush myself. See, they can’t start the game without me.
