Our pitching staff is a conspiracy of ifs.

If you look around at everything that has happened to me, to the whole starting pitching staff, if we have had won all those little games, then the whole pitching staff should be Cy Youngs. It didn't happen for me to get those wins, but that doesn't mean I'm done working.

It is not the honor that you take with you, but the heritage you leave behind.

Luck is the residue of design.

I don't care if I was a ditch-digger at a dollar a day, I'd want to do my job better than the fellow next to me. I'd want to be the best at whatever I do.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.
