“If you do something he doesn't like, he just might flip you. Nolan Ryan was that way. Don Drysdale, I'm sure was that way. (Bob) Gibson was that way. Not that they're out of control. They're not out of control; they're in control. But they're going to win the game.”
Dave Duncan
“They all have good legs. Nolan Ryan? Real strong legs. Roger Clemens? Real strong legs. Tom Seaver? Real strong legs.”
