"I don't have Nolan Ryan's fastball and I don't have Steve Carlton's slider or Mario Soto's changeup, but when I get to the mound the one thing I usually take with me is a good attitude." - Rick Sutcliffe in The Mental Game Of Baseball: A Guide to Peak Performance (H. A. Dorfman, Taylor Trade Publishing, 05/16/2002, Page 15)
