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

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.

Players who stand flat footed and swing with their arms are golfers, not hitters.

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

I stare out the window and wait for spring.

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.

When I was in the batter's box, I felt sorry for the pitcher.
