You May Have The Greatest Bunch Of Individual Stars In The World, But If They Don't Play Together, The Club Won't Be Worth A Dime.

It’s hard to beat someone who never quits.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.  You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

You just can't beat the person who won't give up.

Baseball was, is, and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.

You just can't beat the person who just won't give up.

As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher’s mound. It was as if I’d been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.

I didn’t mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
