Old Third Basemen Become First Basemen, And

I Used To Be A Mad Hitter. And Then I Learned The Longer You Wait Out The Ball, The Better You See It. And The Better You See It, The Harder You Hit It. And The Harder You Hit It, The Higher Your Average Is Going To Be. And The Higher Your Average Is, The More Money You're Going To Make.

Every Time I Sit With Our General Manager At A Baseball Game, And There's Number-cruncher And Statistician Guy - I'm Sitting Around - They Start Talking About Stuff, And I Say, 'what's That? I've Never Heard Of That One Before.

He Said I Couldn't Do (off The Field) What I Did When I Was 23 Or 24, And I Paid Attention To Him. Damn It, I Got A Trainer And Went To Spring Training In The Best Shape Of My Career And In 1985 Had The Best Season I Ever Had And We Won The World Series. Before That, I Didn't Know How Long I Was Going To Play. That Talk With Mr. Fogelman Was The Most Inspiring Talk I Ever Had With Anyone.

I Could Have Played Another Year, But I Would Have Been Playing For The Money, And Baseball Deserves Better Than That.

American League Teams Don't Bunt Very Often. National League Teams Bunt A Lot.
