I just try to do my best every at-bat. That's what I plan to do.

Are you tall? Are you strong? How big are your hands? You must be honest with yourself or you will end up using the wrong bat.

I've got a right to knock down anybody holding a bat.

To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better.

You have to stay fresh and blank in your mind when you go out to bat. You complicate things, and you're gone.

You always want to get at-bats. You always want to contribute.

I'm not afraid to swing the bat. If they elect to pitch to me, I'm going to swing. I'm not as picky as Mr. Sheffield. I'll swing at something over my head.

I had great control, I never missed hitting the other's fellow bat.

When you bat, you need to have a lot of patience. I started training for it from the age of eight or nine. So, I knew what I needed when I stepped on the field to bat.

Your bat is your life. It's your weapon. You don't want to go into battle with anything that feels less than perfect.
