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!

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.

I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400.

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.

If I could run like Mantle I'd hit .400 every year!

I've found in life the more you practice, the better you get. If you want something enough and work hard to get it, your chances of success are greater.

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