I've learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't think much about batting average when I was playing.
As for my batting, the best part about it is I have never changed it. I have never changed my thinking, I have never changed my batting style.
To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.
You're not going to have a 1.000 batting average, but the way you get votes is, you just push and you push. I'm not afraid to do that.
What I need as a player is just to get at-bats, I think.
My own tastes happen to be in tune with what the public wants. I think that's the reason my batting average is so high, not because I've discovered some brilliant formula.
You have got to field well. If you don't bat well, you can still make a difference by fielding well. There are times I have played games just because of my fielding.
Maybe I'm delusional but I'm usually funny. It's not 100% but I have a pretty good batting average.
I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 then swinging for home runs.
I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.
