List of Juan Marichal quotes.

We used to look at Felipe as our guiding man that we listened to.

You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn't belong to the hitters; it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair.

There is no way to have a strong arm if you don't throw enough.
