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

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

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

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

I've never been a yes man.

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

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