A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime.

Think. Don't just swing. Think about the pitcher, what he threw you last time up, his best pitch, who's up next. Think.

All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street, folks will say, "There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived."

They invented the All-Star game for Willie Mays.

The most fun I ever had in my life was hittin' a baseball. And the best sound I ever heard in my life was a ball hit with a bat. Powww!

No one can ever see the ball hit the bat because it's physically impossible to focus your eyes that way. However, when I hit the ball especially hard, I could smell the leather start to burn as it struck the wooden bat.

By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.
