Last Year, I Was Sort Of A

I Never Thought Home Runs Were All That Exciting. I Still Think The Triple Is The Most Exciting Thing In Baseball. To Me, A Triple Is Like A Guy Taking The Ball On His 1-yard Line And Running 99 Yards For A Touchdown.

I Came To The Braves On Business, And I Intended To See That Business Was Good As Long As I Could.

Baseball Is A Lot Like The Ivy-covered Wall Of Wrigley Field--it Gives Off A Great Appearance, But When You Run Into It, You Discover The Bricks Underneath. At Times, It Seems That We're Dealing With A Group Of Men Who Aren't Much Different Than Others We've All Run Into Over The Years, Except They Wear Neckties Instead Of Robes And Hoods.

To This Day, Whenever I'm In Milwaukee, Which Is Often, I'm Reminded That The People There Still Haven't Gotten Over The Braves Leaving ... If It Helps, They Should Know The Players Haven't Either.

I Think About How A Guy Mentally Prepared Himself To Do Battle, To Go Out And Face The Pitcher. I Think So Many Hitters Do Not Know How To Get Themselves Prepared To Play Or Hit Against A Pitcher. You Have To Mentally Be Prepared To Hit Against All Pitchers.
