Used to be bats had thick handles and a big barrel. Then they found it's not the size of the bat that gets home runs - it's the speed with which you can swing it.

It seemed like I always did some great hitting in Brooklyn. The field there was close to the stands. Every time I started walking to the plate, I could hear the fans say, 'Here comes that man again. Here comes that man.'

There was never a day when I was as good as Joe DiMaggio at his best. Joe was the best, the very best I ever saw.

Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.

There is no one correct way to bat, and so of course there is no one correct stance for it.
