Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster.

He's always given me trouble. Mike has so many arm angles and he knows how to spot his pitches. He can set you up with that change-up and then throw a fastball right by you.

I'm not too pleased about it. Derek got hit with a split (finger fastball). We knew it, they knew. Then Mike got hit in the ribs.

It was pretty much a fastball down the middle. I felt bad. I was looking for a pitch a little lower. I was looking for something down and he actually got it belt high. I was pretty surprised I missed it, but it wasn't the best of swings. Fortunately, now, I missed it, because if I had put it into play, who knows what would've happened.

Sandy's fastball was so fast, some batters would start to swing as he was on his way to the mound.

Throwing a fastball to Henry Aaron is like trying to sneak the sun past a rooster.
