Cy Young's Rules for Pitching Success
Rank	Rule
1	Pitchers like poets are born, not made.
2	Cultivate good habits: Let liquor severely alone, fight shy of cigarettes, and be moderate in indulgence of tobacco, coffee, and tea... A player should try to get along without any stimulants at all: Water, pure cool water is good enough for any man.
3	A man who is not willing to work from dewy morn until weary eve should not think about becoming a pitcher.
4	Learn to be patient and cool. These traits can be cultivated.
5	Take the slumps that come your way, ride over them, and look forward.
6	Until you can put the ball over the pan whenever you choose, you have not acquired the command necessary to make a first-class pitcher. Therefore, start in to acquire command.
