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

I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.

Now the advantage is all with the hitters.

I'd rather him (Grover Alexander) pitch a crucial game for me drunk, then anyone I've ever known sober. He was that good.

The first rule of baseball is to get a good ball to hit.

A great hitter isn't born, he's made. He's made out of practice, fault correction, and confidence.
