“It enrages me to see only certain players singled out for the Hall of Fame because they were born with a God-given specialty. When I take my kids to the Baseball Hall of Fame, I want them to experience the full array of talents that make the game what it is today, not just the larger-than-life freaks of nature. I want them to know that you don't have to be the biggest or the strongest to reach your goals, and that hard work and perseverance are also rewarded.” KnowsWantHardKidsTodayCertainGamesGivenGoalBornPlayerTalentHard WorkFameBaseballPerseveranceHallsStrongestFreakHall Of FameSpecialtyLarger Than LifeReaching Your GoalsBaseball Hall Of Fame Author:Bert Blyleven
“I want to stay around longer than the pitchers who were at the top when I came into the big leagues. I don't want to be gone and have all the old guys - Seaver, Carlton, Ryan and Sutton - still pitching. I got rid of Palmer, now I want to outlast the rest of them.” WantStillsBigsGuyGoneLeaguePitcherPitchingOld Guys Author:Bert Blyleven
