I always tried to hit the ball back through the box because that is the largest unprotected area.
It don't make no difference where I go or what happens, so long as I can play the full nine.
Now the advantage is all with the hitters.
To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.
I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.
Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American. He's a communist.
