There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.

If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.

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

Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it.

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.

They invented the All-Star game for Willie Mays.

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