Nobody should hit .200. Anybody should hit .250.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400.
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.
Three thousand hits is something that should stand for itself.
I figured the people who liked the sort of thing I was doing would come see it. If it was only 200 then that was alright and if it was 2000 then that is alright as well. I wasn't really interested in the big numbers; I was just interested in some numbers.
My coach told me if I broke the national record for the 200, I could run a 100.
The 200 meters is my baby. To me, it's the perfect distance. It's still a true sprint, but it unravels more. You get to enjoy the race a little bit more than the 100.
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.
You know, this game's not very much fun when you're only hitting .247.
I'm very competitive; it's not enough just to have a few number ones. I want to have 200.
Nobody bats 500. We all make mistakes.
