“To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.” — Rogers Hornsby

I always tried to hit the ball back through the box because that is the largest unprotected area.

I've never been a yes man.

Now the advantage is all with the hitters.

I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.
