Once You Accept Defeat, It Becomes Ease

Hitting. That's What I Enjoy Most. Realistically, It's Probably The Hardest Thing To Do In All Of Sport. Think About It. You've Got A Round Ball, A Round Bat, And The Object Is To Hit It Square.

When You Play This Game Twenty Years, Go To Bat Ten-thousand Times, And Get Three-thousand Hits, Do You Know What That Means? You've Gone Zero For Seven-thousand.

If You're Not Active - And I'm Not Active - And You Don't Watch What You Eat, You Can Get Big As A Horse.

Practice The Game The Way You're Going To Play The Game. Practice Hard And Play Hard. Run Hard And Above All Else, Hustle Every Moment You're On The Field Where You Are Practicing Or Playing In A Game.

I Told Him (pete Rose, Jr.) Who To Watch. I Said If You Want To Be A Catcher, Watch Johnny Bench. If You Want To Be A Right-handed Power Hitter, Watch Mike Schmidt. If You Just Want To Be A Hitter, Watch Me.
