'Catcher In The Rye' was my favorite book, honestly. I read it when I was thirteen, and the book was a bit of a family heirloom because it was passed down from my grandfather to my father to my older brother and then to me.
The forbidden things were a great influence on my life. I was forbidden from reading A Catcher in the Rye.
A catcher must want to catch. He must make up his mind that it isn't the terrible job it is painted, and that he isn't going to say every day, 'Why, oh why with so many other positions in baseball did I take up this one.'
If you believe your catcher is intelligent and you know that he has considerable experience, it is a good thing to leave the game almost entirely in his hands.
I was always taught that a catcher has to be the brains of the team.
You have to have a catcher because if you don't you're likely to have a lot of passed balls.
No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.
DeNiro did a good job playing a catcher in 'Bang the Drum Slowly,' but he's great in everything he does.
One of my clearest, happiest memories is of myself at fourteen, sitting up in bed, being handed a large glass of warm buttermilk by my mother because I had a sore throat, and she saying how envious she was that I was reading 'The Catcher in the Rye' for the first time.
I really like The Catcher in the Rye a lot.
