The hardest thing to do in baseball is to hit a round baseball with a round bat, squarely.
I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit.
Baseball is 50% from the neck up
I don't want to take anything away from Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. They're both great hitters, but they're batting against guys they never would have seen in previous years.
Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it.
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.'
