The Key To Hitting For High Average

What Made Me Sign With The Cardinals? Because They Used Salesmanship, The Personal Touch.

Used To Be Bats Had Thick Handles And A Big Barrel. Then They Found It's Not The Size Of The Bat That Gets Home Runs - It's The Speed With Which You Can Swing It.

There Is No One Correct Way To Bat, And So Of Course There Is No One Correct Stance For It.

The Key To Hitting For High Average Is To Relax, Concentrate, And Don't Hit The Fly Ball To Center Field.

I Consciously Memorized The Speed At Which Every Pitcher In The League Threw His Fastball, Curve, And Slider; Then, I'd Pick Up The Speed Of The Ball In The First Thirty Feet Of Its Flight And Knew How It Would Move Once It Had Crossed The Plate.
