Eddie Haas talked a lot about not hitting the ball in the air.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Babe Ruth was not afraid to strike out. And it was this fearlessness that contributed to his remarkable career.
People who write about spring training not being necessary have never tried to throw a baseball.
As far as a guy like Ray Lewis is concerned, you know he's going to be around the ball all the time.
I always tried to watch the pitcher and his complete windup from the moment he had the ball in his glove all the way through his motion, and tried to follow it all the way out of his hand, all the way to home plate.
Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice.
No one likes getting hit. It's a normal thing... I used to make up excuses when the coach would ask me to get in the ring. I'd say I forgot my mouthpiece, or I'd say I had a headache or something.
If I would go up on a high note, Eddie would want a low one. That's how petty the situation had become.
He played football too long without a helmet.
Home-plate collisions are something you cannot ignore.
He stopped everything behind the plate and hit everything in front of it.
