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

It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.

I've never looked forward to a birthday like I'm looking forward to my new daughter's birthday, because two days after that is when I can apply for reinstatement.

The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.

I told him (Pete Rose, Jr.) who to watch. I said if you want to be a catcher, watch Johnny Bench. If you want to be a right-handed power hitter, watch Mike Schmidt. If you just want to be a hitter, watch me.

Singles hitters drive Fords. Home-run hitters drive Cadillacs.

He (Eric Davis) gets power from his bat speed.....it's like he has cork in his arms.
