Every Time I Look At My Pocketbook,

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.

Never Assume The Other Guy Will Never Do Something You Would Never Do.

Defense To Me Is The Key To Playing Baseball.

I'm Not The Type Of Guy To Go Out And Just Say, 'hey, I'm Raising My Fist To Do This And Do That.' I Don't Think I'm That Type Of Guy. I Wasn't A Leader The Way Other People May Have Wanted Me To Be.

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.
