Every Great Batter Works On The Theory

When I Came To Detroit I Was Just A Mild-mannered Sunday-school Boy.

Most Collisions Out On The Fields Are Needless.

I Never Could Stand Losing. Second Place Didn't Interest Me. I Had A Fire In My Belly.

I've Got To Be First. All The Time.

The Longer I Live, The Longer I Realize That Batting Is More A Mental Matter Than It Is Physical. The Ability To Grasp The Bat, Swing At The Proper Time, Take A Proper Stance; All These Are Elemental. Batting Is Rather A Study In Psychology, A Sizing Up Of A Pitcher And Catcher And Observing Little Details That Are Of Immense Importance. It's Like The Study Of Crime, The Work Of A Detective As He Picks Up Clues.
