I will say this: when you take any substance, especially in baseball, it's half mental and half physical. If you take this glass of water and you say, 'I'm going to be a better baseball player,' then you probably will be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Baseball skills schizophrenically encompass a pitcher's, a batter's and a fielder's.
I'd rather be a good person off the field than a good baseball player on the field.
What's important is to get into the pitcher's head: to know what he's made of.
All it takes to play baseball is a strong arm, good speed, and the coordination to hit the ball. That's it.
You can't get real happy or real depressed when you play baseball. Baseball is a great sport in that it offers a player a lot of opportunities for atonement.
To me, when people say, 'Oh, you're a freak athlete,' it's bittersweet. It's a huge compliment to say, 'O.K., you have physical abilities that are kind of above and beyond.' But at the same time, I feel like it diminishes the mental side of the game.
Baseball is about talent, hard work, and strategy. But at the deepest level, it's about love, integrity, and respect.
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.
I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player.
