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.

Always wanted to be a Major League player. Loved baseball. Followed it. Loved to play. Plus, I could always hit.

I love to play this game of baseball. I love putting on the uniform.

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.

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.

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

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