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.

If you get fooled by a pitch with less than two strikes, take it.

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

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

All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street, folks will say, "There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived."

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