Pitching
"My pitching philosophy is simple-keep the ball away from the bat." -Satchel Paige
“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.”
-Babe Ruth

Catching
“A good catcher is the quarterback, the carburetor, the lead dog, the pulse taker, the traffic cop and sometimes a lot of unprintable things, but no team gets very far without one.”
-Miller Huggins

Hitting
“I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?” -Yogi Berra
"There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game." -Ted Williams

Baserunning
"Sliding headfirst is the safest way to get to the next base, I think, and the fastest. You don't lose your momentum, and there's one more important reason I slide headfirst, it gets my picture in the paper."

Bunting
Coach Hawkins at Highland, Illinois High School has a tremendous reputation for winning with the bunt. It doesn't matter how athletic his teams are, they beat better teams consistently because they put so much pressure on teams with the bunt. I know when we play them, we have to practice our various bunt defenses until all of our reactions are ingrained in every situation. -unknown

MLB Clutch Performer
The 2007 MLB Clutch Performer of the Year Presented by Pepsi winner was selected by the fans from a list of six nominees chosen by a special editorial panel from MLB Advanced Media and Major League Baseball Productions.

Roberto Clemente Award
Since 1972, Major League Baseball annually has presented an award (originally known as The Commissioner's Award) which recognizes the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual's contribution to his team.
In 1973, following the tragic death of Roberto Clemente, the award was re-named to honor the man whose spirit and goodwill always will be remembered. The award recognizes those individuals who truly understand the value of helping others.
A panel of baseball dignitaries, including Vera Clemente and Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig, annually selects a winner from a list of 30 nominees, one from each Major League Baseball club. This year, the MLB.com fan ballot winner will be tallied as one vote among those cast by the special selection panel. Past winners include Al Leiter, Tony Gwynn, Sammy Sosa, Willie Mays, Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith, Cal Ripken, Jr. and Kirby Puckett. (MLB.com)

Delivery Man Award
The Delivery Man of the Year is sanctioned by Major League Baseball and recognizes the most outstanding relief pitcher of the season, as voted by the fans. Voting took place on MLB.com from Sept. 25-Oct. 8 and Papelbon received 39,043 votes.
Papelbon is the first Red Sox reliever to post 30 saves in two different seasons. He limited opponents to a .146 batting average, which was the stingiest in the league among qualifying relievers. Papelbon's 12.96 strikeouts per nine innings ratio was the best in the Majors among relievers.

Gold Gloves
In American baseball, the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, usually referred to simply as the Gold Glove, is the award given annually to the major league player judged to have the most "superior individual fielding performance" at each position (in each league), as voted by the managers and coaches in each league.[1] Managers are not allowed to vote for their own players.[1] Eighteen Gold Gloves are awarded each year, one at each of nine positions to a player in both the National League and American League.

Manager of the Year
"I made a couple promises to myself when I started managing," Wedge said Wednesday. "I'll never forget how hard it is to play this game, and it's not about me, it's about the players that play this game. It takes 100 percent commitment to those players to ultimately do your job. You have to do this for the right reasons and you have to be willing to put everything on the line when it comes to your players."

Silver Slugger
The specially designed Silver Slugger Award will be presented to each player by a representative of the Hillerich & Bradsby Co., makers of Louisville Slugger, the Official Bat of Major League Baseball, in a ceremony early in the 2008 season. The trophy is three feet tall and bears the engraved name of the winner and his Silver Slugger teammates in his respective league.
The Silver Slugger Award was instituted in 1980 as a companion to the Silver Bat Award, which commemorates the batting average champions in the AL and NL. This year's Silver Bat Award winners are Holliday and Ordonez. Holliday hit .340 to win the NL batting title. Ordonez led the Major Leagues in batting with a .363 average and claimed the AL honor.
