I throw the ball ninety-two miles an hour, but they hit it back just as hard.

There are days when I go out on the court and I feel like I can't miss a ball.

I was never a strikeout pitcher. Why should I throw eight or nine balls to get a man out when I got away with three or four?

I play in front of 70,000 fans week in and week out, and I may drop the ball in practice, I may run the ball the wrong way, but once it's game time, it's game on.

You are not always going to have your A game; you might have your D game. You have to find a way to throw strikes no matter what.

When I throw a ground ball, I expect it to be an out, maybe two.

If you don't throw it, they can't hit it.

You don't just throw the ball - you propel it.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
