Roger Angell:
Pitchers...always think that the ball has been secretly doctored to their
disadvantage. This is nonsense. Everybody knows that pitchers are crazy.
Yogi Berra:
All pitchers are liars and crybabies.
Jim Bouton:
A lot of long relievers are ashamed to tell their parents what they do.
The only nice thing about it is that you get to wear a uniform like everybody
else.
Skip Lockwood, Mets reliever:
lot of relief pitchers develop a crazy facade, and it's this facade that
helps the deal with the pressure. Or course, maybe it's only the crazies that
want to be relief pitchers.
Jim Palmer:
There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's
to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit
altogether.
Jim Palmer, asked how long he'd be on the disabled list:
Two weeks...maybe three. You never know with psychosomatic injuries.
Rod Beck, Chicago Cub closer, maintaining his weight is not a problem:
I've never seen anyone on the disabled list with pulled fat.
