I've never been a guy that's consistently hit home runs. It's always seemed to come, like, three or four in a week or two, and then I'll shut it down for a couple of weeks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.
I wouldn't describe myself as a home run hitter. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard in the gaps. Just backspinning baseballs and hitting line drives.
I don't think I'm a home run hitter. Most of my home runs are line drives. If I hit it, thanks God. But it's not the kind of thing that I think about. I just go out there and try to have a better season than I had before. Home runs are not in my mind.

I heard Tony Bennett say that when you're a big deal early on, you have to maintain that level forever, and it's very scary. You have to keep hitting those home runs, turning out hits.
You hit home runs not by chance but by preparation.
I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.
If you're not in the game, you can't hit a home run.
