Get eight hours of sleep regularly. Keep your weight down, run a mile a day.

I'm a musician. I play harmonica for relaxation. A good way to relax and entertain people. An excellent way to have fun.

A lot of hitters stay away from the plate, some are close up, some are forward, some are back. The thing about hitting is this: You have to know the strike zone. That's the most important thing. Hit strikes and put the bat on the ball.

I never realized that batting a little ball around could cause so much commotion. I now know how (Charles) Lindbergh must have felt when he returned from St. Louis.

I started to crouch because that way I could guard the plate better, and I always wanted to hit .300 in the big leagues.

I learned to hit with a broomstick and a ball of tape and I could always get that bat on the ball.

The key to hitting for high average is to relax, concentrate, and don't hit the fly ball to center field.
