There Was Never A Day When I

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.

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.'

Get Eight Hours Of Sleep Regularly. Keep Your Weight Down, Run A Mile A Day.

A Lot Of Hitters Stay Away From The Plate, Some Are Close Up, Some Are Forward, Some Are Back. The Thing About Hitting Is This: You Have To Know The Strike Zone. That's The Most Important Thing. Hit Strikes And Put The Bat On The Ball.

I Never Realized That Batting A Little Ball Around Could Cause So Much Commotion. I Now Know How (charles) Lindbergh Must Have Felt When He Returned From St. Louis.
