Whether I'm hitting .100 or .300, I have resolved to at least enjoy every game.

It would have been a helluva lot more fun if I had not hit those sixty-one home runs.

When you're going into a game, you're not expected to hit a home run every game. You're just doing everything proper with proper swings.

The game is meant to be fun.

If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.

There is more to the game than hitting it far. There are ways to make birdies other than hitting 350-yard drives. I pride myself on a good short game; I work very hard at it.

When you can throw 97 miles an hour and put the ball over the plate anytime you want, it's fun.

It's not fun facing a ball going 97 mph, trust me.

When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.

I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.
