Now the advantage is all with the hitters.

Baseball is my life, the only thing I know and can talk about. My only interest.

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

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've never been a yes man.

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.

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