The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Randy Johnson
- Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you’re going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.
- When you can throw 97 miles an hour and put the ball over the plate anytime you want, it’s fun.
- I threw a lot of balls and walked a lot of batters. Not something I’m proud of, but something I learned from.
- Greg Maddux is probably the best pitcher in all of baseball along with Roger Clemens. He’s much more intelligent than I am because he doesn’t have a 95 or 98 mph fastball. I would tell any pitcher who wants to be successful to watch him, because he’s the true definition of a pitcher.
- I had a long conversation with Steve Carlton. He told me that on the days he pitched, he felt it was his responsibility to make everyone around him better, to lift his teammates. Thats what I try to do.
- When I was younger and inexperienced, I was a very animated pitcher. I pitched with a lot of adrenaline. I was my own worst enemy when things weren’t gong well.
- Tiger Woods, Larry Bird, Wayne Gretzky, a pitcher just before a game, I would imagine they all have nervous energy. But as you perform, the nervous energy dissipates and you start to relax and you start to do what you do best.
- People who say they’re not nervous – I would be kind of curious to see how successful you are at what you do and how long you’ve done it. And what is success in your eyes? Have you separated yourself from everyone else in that craft? Or have you settled amongst the pack?
- I learned a lot from not having success, and realizing when you do have success, how hard it is to maintain it, and what you have to do to maintain it.
- Any time I’ve taken the mound, it’s always been the old Samson-and-Goliath story written about me.
