I think that's why I like baseball. There's something great about it - you're young, the pitcher's young and he's got this great arm, and he doesn't really realize anything about strategy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think once I see everybody and go through every team and their pitchers, I'll get an idea of what they like to do. And they'll see what I like to do and swing at. I think there's always something you've got to adjust to.
This day and age, you look at baseball as a whole, and not just the pitchers' side of it. You have the weight programs, you have the technology, and as a pitcher, you need to keep up.
Baseball gives a growing boy self poise and self reliance.
One of the many things I like about baseball is how it combines individual talent and teamsmanship.
You never really know baseball until you put on a pair of cleats and get out and play it; and if you play for five years, you still don't really know what it's about.
All it takes to play baseball is a strong arm, good speed, and the coordination to hit the ball. That's it.
Baseball is my job, and I love it, but it can't be the only thing I've got going on.
Baseball is about talent, hard work, and strategy. But at the deepest level, it's about love, integrity, and respect.
There are many kids in and out of baseball who think that just because they have some natural talent, they have the world by the tail.
Baseball cannot be learned as a trade. It begins with the sport of the schoolboy, and though it may end in the professional, I am sure there is not a single one of these who learned the game with the expectation of making it a business. There have been years in the life of each during which he must have ate and drank and dreamed baseball.
