When I Began Playing The Game, Baseball

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.

I've Been Called One Of The Hardest Bargainers Who Ever Held Out, And I'm Proud Of It.

Speed Is A Great Asset; But It's Greater When It's Combined With Quickness - And There's A Big Difference.

I May Have Been Fierce, But Never Low Or Underhand.

Don't Come Home A Failure.
