“My dad played for a coal-mining team in eastern Ohio; he was a very good pitcher. If he hadn't hurt his arm, he probably would have got a shot somewhere. He hurt his arm one spring, didn't warm up good enough, couldn't throw a fastball anymore. Another coal miner taught him how to throw the knuckleball.” IfsEnoughHurtTeamTaughtArmsDadSpringShotsMy DadVery GoodWarmGood EnoughCoalEasternPitcherOhioMiningMinersFastballsCoal MinersCoal MiningKnuckleballs Author:Phil Niekro
“The 16 years have gone so fast. I came to Minnesota as a 19-year-old kid. Marv Grissom was the pitching coach, an old-timer who taught me quite a bit. Marv didn't like the way I stepped toward the plate. I had a tendency to throw across my body. So, he took me off to the side at Met Stadium and put a chair on the mound. If I threw across my body, I would step on the chair. Marv was trying to hurt me. I fooled him. I started stepping the right way.” IfsWayTryingYearsBodyKidsBitsSidesHurtStepsGoneTaughtMetsCoachesTendenciesChairsPlatesRight WayStadiumsHurt MePitchingFooledMinnesotaTimerOld Timers Author:Bert Blyleven

“I taught public school for 26 years, but I just can't do it anymore. For years I asked the school board to let me teach a curriculum that doesn't hurt kids, but they always had other fish to fry. If you hear of a job where I don't have to hurt kids to make a living, let me know.
