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

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

No one can ever see the ball hit the bat because it's physically impossible to focus your eyes that way. However, when I hit the ball especially hard, I could smell the leather start to burn as it struck the wooden bat.

No one has come up with a substitute for hard work.

There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.

Think. Don't just swing. Think about the pitcher, what he threw you last time up, his best pitch, who's up next. Think.

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