I've learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.

You can never have a thousand percent batting average on jokes - it's just never going to happen.

What gets lost is we wouldn't be who we are and as successful as we have been if we didn't have a decent batting average.

I didn't think much about batting average when I was playing.

We devote our entire lives to becoming good ball players. We take batting practice until our hands bleed.

You obviously want the results but you must do your job in every at-bat and deal with what every situation dictates.

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.

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.

If you try to give them a scheme, most hitters will rebel.
