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.
From Ted Williams
Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.
You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.
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.'
God gets you to the plate, but once your there your on your own.
I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit.
I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400.
If there was ever a man born to be a hitter it was me.
