My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more.

There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it could, I would buy myself four hits every game.

Concentration is that ability to not think about anything.

I'd be willing to bet you, if I was a betting man, that I have never bet on baseball.

I never gave up as a player, and I won't give up as someone who wants to go to the Hall of Fame, because it's the ultimate goal for a baseball player or a football player or a basketball player.

When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than (Ty) Cobb.

I can't remember, I wish I could remember the first time I bet on baseball.
