3 Inspirational Quotes From 3 Famous Baseball Pitchers

Happy Thanksgiving!

When I started this pitching tips blog four years ago to the day, I never realized how much fun it would be to share some of my favorite pitching tips and strategies. Thanks for all the comments and emails!

Today, I share with you three quotes from three of baseball's former greats. Perhaps on a day like today, with all the eating we tend to do (I'm partial to cornbread), you could fit in a run as Early Wynn suggests. :-)

"A pitcher is only as good as his legs. Therefore, he must do a great deal of running."
--Early Wynn

"To be a winning pitcher, a player has to have control of the pitches he has."
--Sandy Koufax

"Getting better spin on the ball is one of the surest ways toward pitching improvement."
--Johnny Sain
