There are only five things you can do in baseball - run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of the game - then you're a good ballplayer.
I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything.
The key to winning baseball games is pitching, fundamentals, and three run homers.
There are certain things I can't do, certain pitches I can't hit. You stay away from them. You try to wait for pitches you can hit. The bat speed isn't what it used to be. You make up for it by using your head, working counts, getting ahead in counts and getting pitches to hit and hitting them hard.
I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and five the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.
There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.
Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually.
