What's Tough Is Being Good Every Day.

That's How Easy Baseball Was For Me. I'm Not Trying To Brag Or Anything, But I Had The Knowledge Before I Became A Professional Baseball Player To Do All These Things And Know What Each Guy Would Hit.

One Of The Hardest Parts Of Practice Is The Criticism A Player Takes From His Coaches. Some Players Think A Coach Has It In For Them When A Flaw In Style Is Pointed Out ... I Know That When Things Start Going Wrong, For One, I Get The Coach To Keep His Eye On Me To See What I'm Suddenly Doing Wrong. I Can't See It Or I Wouldn't Be Doing It In The First Place.

Maybe I Was Born To Play Ball. Maybe I Truly Was.

They Throw The Ball, I Hit It. They Hit The Ball, I Catch It.

In Order To Excel, You Must Be Completely Dedicated To Your Chosen Sport. You Must Also Be Prepared To Work Hard And Be Willing To Accept Constructive Criticism. Without One-hundred Percent Dedication, You Won't Be Able To Do This.
