Every Great Batter Works On The Theory

When I Played Ball, I Didn't Play For Fun.

Just Speed, Raw Speed, Blinding Speed, Too Much Speed.

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 Regret To This Day That I Never Went To College. I Feel I Should Have Been A Doctor.

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