No one hit home runs the way Babe did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings, then take off for the stands.

My kids are good athletes and runners. They run in a bunch of sports.

The desire to hit a big home run is dominating the music business.

I love singing so much. As a kid, that was what I wanted to do.

The Atlanta Braves are really all that our children know about this crazy baseball life, and we are so thankful for this upbringing for them.

I'm hoping someday that some kid, black or white, will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is, I'd be pulling for him.

My kids are athletic, but they don't run.

I try to frighten my very young colleagues into studying and understanding their voices before they attempt things that are beyond them. It's wise to take gymnastics and swimming to strengthen the body, because people don't realise what an athletic undertaking singing actually is.

You hit home runs not by chance but by preparation.

There is nothing better than walking out and hitting a home run.
