Growing up in Colorado Springs Colorado I remember pitching to my brother Jack in our front yard winding up and trying to throw the ball as hard as I possibly could throw. He'd say You're not throwing very hard. You're throwing like a sissy. I'd have tears in my eyes I'd be trying so hard but looking back that's where my wild delivery came from all arms and legs flailing coming right at you. I had a dream of playing in the big leagues. My Dad would always say I was going to be there someday and I would just say Oh Dad don't say that because deep down I just didn't believe it could happen.
- Goose Gossage July 27 2008 Cooperstown N.Y.
