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."

No one has come up with a substitute for hard work.

You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.

If you don't think too good, don't think too much.

I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit.

A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
