Pitcher Quotations

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.
Casey Stengel

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.
Babe Ruth

Mickey Mantle

Momentum? Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher.
