The big trouble is not really who isn't in the Hall of Fame, but who is. It was established for a select few.
When I was in the batter's box, I felt sorry for the pitcher.
I've always played hard. If that's rough and tough, I can't help it. I don't believe there's any such thing as a good loser. I wouldn't sit down and play a game of cards with you right now withing wanting to win. If I hadn't felt that way I wouldn't have got very far in baseball.
To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.
Now the advantage is all with the hitters.
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.
