Sometimes I underestimate the magnitude of me.

Just like every other kid in my grade school, I was listening to my little radio plug in my ear when Mickey Mantle hit 18 post-season homers and won series after series for the Yankees. I listened and I learned from that. I think he was the original 'Mr. October,' but thank god it didn't stick.

A baseball swing is a very finely tuned instrument. It is repetition, and more repetition, then a little more after that.

When you take a pitch and line it somewhere, it's like you've thought of something and put it with beautiful clarity.

You don't face Nolan Ryan without your rest. He's the only guy I go against that makes me go to bed before midnight.

True success is one of the greatest needs. Success is not something you stumble onto or come to by accident. It is something you must sincerely prepare for. Take a good look at successes, and you'll see he same consistent qualities all the time - qualities of one's character that make one strive for a goal with a standard of unmatched excellence.

The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.
