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

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

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

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

Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American. He's a communist.

Now the advantage is all with the hitters.

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.
