Awful Quote by Bruce Sutter
“It just tickles me still when you see Roger Clemens, as great as he is, throw a split-finger and the hitter just swings and misses. They don't see that ball that well. Jack Morris threw an awful good one and Mike Scott. There's a lot of great pitchers over the years that I think that pitch definitely helped their career.”

![“When I'm in the game [softball], it's not so much mechanics. It's more of just trusting my teammates, trusting myself, trusting my preparation that we've put in to get there. When you're in the game, it's go-mode. There's going to be times when you're tweaking things but when you're in that game…” quote by Jennie Finch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1f6/jennie-finch-7329_baseball_when-i-m-in-the-game-softball-it-s-not-s_733051.jpg)
