A pitcher will never be a big winner until he hates hitters.
Early Wynn

I hate all hitters. I start a game mad and I stay that way until it's over.
Don Drysdale

I like my friends to be the hitters. The pitchers, they all have the same brain as I do. The hitters see the game from a different perspective.
Joe Mays

I've witnessed thousands of superior athletes try to becomes hitters and fail at it.
Willie Stargell

I've worked with a lot of real heavy hitters, and Quentin is maybe heads and shoulders, at least a forehead, above just about anybody I've ever worked with.
David Carradine

If I'd been able to put the collection together in one go, say over two years, we'd have had a special team, most wouldn't stay. One or two glory seasons and they were off. To them, the north-east was too far out. They wanted to be with the big hitters.
Bryan Robson

If they knocked two of your guys down, I'd get four. You have to protect your hitters.
Don Drysdale

Most of the managers are lifetime .220 hitters. For years pitchers have been getting these managers out 75% of the time and that's why they don't like us.
Bill Lee

My manager said it would more effective against left-handed hitters. It seemed to me that was impossible to do without the high leg kick, which I started that day.
Juan Marichal

Now the advantage is all with the hitters.
Rogers Hornsby

Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in this world. It's not the home-run hitters.
Willie Stargell

Why shouldn't we pitch to Babe Ruth? We pitch to better hitters in the National League.
John McGraw

You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn't belong to the hitters; it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair.
