To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.

I always tried to hit the ball back through the box because that is the largest unprotected area.

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

I never saw a pitcher I didn't feel sorry for.

I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.

I stare out the window and wait for spring.

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball.
