If there was ever a man born to be a hitter it was me.

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.

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!

All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth.

The key to hitting is just plain working at it. Work, that's the real secret.

Joe DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career can not be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country.

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.
