"A catcher has to get along with the pitcher. The worst think you can do is rile him, upset him. And if you don't know him, you can easily upset him when you think you're helping him. For one thing, some pitchers want you to come out to the mound sometimes and other pitcher's don't." - Steve Yeager in Baseball Digest (May 1975)
