It was always fun for me, I loved baseball so darn much. By the hours I practiced, you'd have to say I was working a lot of hours, but it was pretty near tireless fun for me. I'd rather swing a bat than do anything else in the world.

You've got to be ready for the fastball.

I object to fishing tournaments less for what they do to fish than what they do to fishermen.

People always told me that my natural ability and good eyesight were the reasons for my success as a hitter. They never talk about the practice, practice, practice.

The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!

The hardest thing to do in baseball is to hit a round baseball with a round bat, squarely.

Hitting is the most important part of the game. It is where the big money is, where much of the status is, and the fan interest.
