Clayton Kershaw

It's just Lord be with me... Winning and losing isn't the most important thing. He's not worried about the outcome of the game. He's worried about how I reflect Him and how I'm pitching... I think every time you pitch and every time you go on the mound you have to understand that it's for Him.

The two biggest things that translate from the pitching mound to hunting and fishing are patience and perseverance. When you're on the mound, you have to take the game one pitch at a time, regardless of the score, and that approach helps when I'm in the woods or on the water as well.

Babe Ruth

As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.

American Baseball Player

Jake Arrieta

I repeat my delivery consistently. My balance is much improved. And the mental and physical toughness Pilates requires to complete movements the correct way have directly helped me on the mound.

Goose Gossage

I don't ever remember seeing a base runner who was all the way to third base run back across the mound. It was kind of a respectful thing.

Joe Garagiola

The Orioles' Dick Hall comes off the mound like a drunk kangaroo on roller skates.

Greg Maddux

I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound.

Ernest Bramah

He who thinks he is raising a mound may only in reality be digging a pit.

 The baboon just went off a few hundred metres and sat behind the nearest termite mound. It's pretty grim, not the sort of thing you can show on any screen. The baboon slowly ate the baby alive as it bleated for its mother, and that's the image and memory I have. In the space of maybe 5 minutes I witness the full, gruesome circle of life.
