The first principle of contract negotiations is don't remind them of what you did in the past - tell them what you're going to do in the future.

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

What I try to do is never to hurt anybody else and figure if I don't, then I'm not likely to get hurt myself.

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

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.

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.

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