When a pitcher's throwing a spitball, don't worry and don't complain, just hit the dry side like I do.

I don't know if he throws a spitball but he sure spits on the ball.

I never threw the spitter, well maybe once or twice when I really needed to get a guy out real bad.

I never resorted to the spitter until I was obliged to. I nearly ruined my arm throwing curves.

I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.

Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches.

I was a thrower. I think I'm more of a pitcher now.

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

Any pitcher who might throw at me should know I'm not giving up my day job or trying to get anyone else's job. I just can't think of anything cooler than being one of the boys of summer!

The three most important pitches I threw in my life were all fastballs.
