You can't win if nobody catches the ball in the outfield. You're only as good as the team you have behind you.
They were all heavy smokers. Looking back, I would have loved to be able to maintain friendships with those guys.
He wasn't going to lie to you. He took great pride in what he did, and understood how to play the game.
It's a horrible story because it endangers his life, other people's lives. It's got to end. It's got to stop. But there's only one person that can do that, and that's him. We can all care about him, we can all talk to him, but at the end of the day, bottom line, he's the guy that's responsible for that.

There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit altogether.
Two weeks, maybe three. You never know with psychosomatic injuries You have to take your time with them.
FEAR IS A REACTION YOU HAVE WHEN YOU’RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE TRUTH
