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

One of the first benchmarks in a season are far as at-bats is 100.

Hitting .400 is something you can do by yourself. But you have to rely on guys getting on base at the right time to drive in that many runs.

The hits and the misses. I just want to keep the at-bats solid.

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

I've been in eleven no-hitters you know.

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

Nobody bats 500. We all make mistakes.

I've had plenty of big hits and plenty of big misses.

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.
