When I was in the batter's box, I felt sorry for the pitcher.
The home run became glorified with Babe Ruth. Starting with him, batters have been thinking in terms of how far they could hit the ball, not how often.
To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.
I never saw a pitcher I didn't feel sorry for.
A great hitter isn't born, he's made. He's made out of practice, fault correction, and confidence.
The big trouble is not really who isn't in the Hall of Fame, but who is. It was established for a select few.
