There Is No One Correct Way To

The Key To Hitting For High Average Is To Relax, Concentrate, And Don't Hit The Fly Ball To Center Field.

Always Wanted To Be A Major League Player. Loved Baseball. Followed It. Loved To Play. Plus, I Could Always Hit.

I Consciously Memorized The Speed At Which Every Pitcher In The League Threw His Fastball, Curve, And Slider; Then, I'd Pick Up The Speed Of The Ball In The First Thirty Feet Of Its Flight And Knew How It Would Move Once It Had Crossed The Plate.

It Seemed Like I Always Did Some Great Hitting In Brooklyn. The Field There Was Close To The Stands. Every Time I Started Walking To The Plate, I Could Hear The Fans Say, 'here Comes That Man Again. Here Comes That Man.'

I Think I Had The Smallest Handle Around. When I Got My Bats, I Even Trimmed Them Down. I Used To Scrape Them. Some Years Later When I Started Getting Older, I Used To Start With A 33 And In The Summer It Got Down To 31 And Then Probably In September Got Down To 30.
