By Jim:
“Most pitchers are too smart to manage”
“There’s only one cure for what’s wrong with all of us pitchers, and that’s a year off. Then, after you’ve gone a year without throwing, quit altogether.”
“The most important thing about my pitching is that I’m satisfied, that I know I’m being the best pitcher I can be.”
“You can’t win if nobody catches the ball in the outfield. You’re only as good as the team you have behind you.”
“Losing is no disgrace if you’ve given your best.”
About Jim:
“Jim had one of the most beauticul deliveries I’ve ever seen. It was almost like watching a ballet.”
