I Had To Fight All My Life

He (shoeless Joe Jackson) Was The Finest Natural Hitter In The History Of The Game.

The Most Important Part Of A Player's Body Is Above His Shoulders.

A Ball Bat Is A Wondrous Weapon.

He Batted Against Spitballs, Shineballs, Emeryballs And All The Other Trick Deliveries. He Never Figured Anything Out Or Studied Anything With The Same Scientific Approach I Gave It. He Just Swung. If He'd Ever Had Any Knowledge Of Batting, His Average Would Have Been Phenomenal. ... He Seemed Content To Just Punch The Ball, And I Can Still See Those Line Drives Whistling To The Far Precincts. Joe Jackson Hit The Ball Harder Than Any Man Ever To Play Baseball.

The Crowd Makes The Ballgame.
