I love the game very much, but when you were a certain type of player for a few years, being a front-end starter, that's the way I still think I can pitch. But the body tells you no. Al Leiter
I look at this as a second life. Every game feels like an event. Every pitch matters. I need that. It elevates your aggressiveness. Al Leiter
Announcers don't do enough of the cat-and-mouse strategy and all the work that goes into it. You watch a broadcast and guys get the pitches wrong. Al Leiter
It's a very big mental game, all day leading up to warm-ups. You're not sure if your curveball will break, or will you be able to throw it over the plate? It's all negative thoughts going into the game. Al Leiter
Pitches are like pages of a book; they're so important. The chess game; how I set you up early, and how I'll do it differently later. Al Leiter
I think the World Cup is going to be bigger than what a lot of people are anticipating. At this stage in my career, when there is an opportunity, albeit a small one, of being on the team, what a great way to possibly end my career. Al Leiter
For seven years, I was in this fishbowl with this intensity, with all the stuff that went on with the Mets. Al Leiter
My dad, we'll be talking about goals for the next year. He's like, 'I think you can be here,' and I look at him like he's cross-eyed, like, 'Are you serious? That's so far out of my reach.' Well, then I always end up achieving it. Miranda Leek
Everything I did in P.E. was just awful. Archery was just something that we did as a father/daughter activity, and it just kind of grew out of that, really. Miranda Leek
I really enjoy playing the piano. I took lessons throughout middle school, but I had to drop the lessons. I actually got too busy, but I hope to pick up the lessons when I'm in college if I can. Miranda Leek
My dad keeps referring to me playing the piano when he's trying to teach me something in archery. Miranda Leek
In piano, if you try to force hitting this key and that key, it's very broken. It's not pretty. When you're in archery, you can't try to force it step-by-step-by-step. Then the shot doesn't flow and it's not a good shot. If you just let the performance flow, it's really beautiful. Miranda Leek
I know I'll never feel that sensation of racing and winning again and that took a while to get used to. The Tour was a race I never thought I could lose. Greg Lemond
It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar. Greg Lemond
