There never was a man on earth who pitched as much as me. But the more I pitched, the stronger my arm would get.

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.

Don't eat fried food, it angries up the blood.

The Crawfords played everywhere, in every ballpark. And we won, won like we invented the game.

They said I was the greatest pitcher they ever sawI couldnt understand why they couldnt give me no justice.

I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old.

Avoid fried foods, which angry up the blood.

I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

When they treat you bad, you just got to take care of your pride, no matter what.
