Pitcher Quotations

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

Babe Ruth

Hank Aaron

Hank Aaron

Rahm Emanuel

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.
Bo Jackson

In baseball, I was a pitcher, which I hated because there was no action there.
Bo Jackson

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

Nolan Ryan
