Nolan Ryan is pitching much better now that he has his curve ball straightened out.

I don't look at myself as one of the best pitchers in the world.

And when I retired, trust me, not only did Nolan Ryan, but the entire Ryan family had withdrawals from baseball. And it was tough.

I'm not really a pitcher; I just play one in the movies.

In my own case I have frequently faced the pitcher when I had no desire whatever to hit. I wanted to get a base on balls.

All pitchers are liars or crybabies.

A pitcher is not a ballplayer.

You don't face Nolan Ryan without your rest. He's the only guy I go against that makes me go to bed before midnight.

It takes 20 victories for people to recognize you as a great pitcher.
