I am the best in baseball.

I was a professional athlete, the best baseball player in the world at one point.

Judging ballplayers and turning in reports, giving my opinion of who will get to the big leagues and who will not... I think my baseball judgment was really good.

I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw.

Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows that I am the greatest pitcher in the world.

One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.

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

Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

I threw my best to every hitter I faced, and I found I had the strength to go all the way.
