Growing Old Is Mandatory; Growing Up Is

The First Time I Picked Up A Bat In A Professional Game, I Hit A Ball Hard Left-handed, And My First Home Run Was So Effortless, It Surprised Me.

I Used To Lead Off When I Was A Rookie. I've Always Been Able To Bunt.

Professionalism Is Not Sportsmanship. If You Don't Succeed, You Won't Be In Your Profession For Long. In Our Society, It's Not About Good Or Bad. It's About Who's On Top.

I've Been On Teams That Lost A Hundred Games In A Season. I've Been On Teams That Had A Shot To Make The Playoffs And Fizzled Out At The End.

I Think Hitting Is More A Mentality Than A Philosophy. A Philosophy Is Somebody Telling You The Way They Think It Should Be. Well, Different People Believe In Different Things. My Thing Is This: Be Ready To Hit.
