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

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

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 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 never saw a pitcher I didn't feel sorry for.
