A part of control is learning to correct your own weaknesses. The person doesn't live who was born with everything. Sometimes he has one weak point, generally he has several. The first thing is to know your faults. And then take on a systematic plan of correcting them. You know the old saying about a chain only being as strong as its weakest link. The same can be said in the chain of skills a man forges.
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
Life is a game like any other; we just don't take it as seriously.
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
I think we've done a lot better than expected against some of these teams, ... These are teams that play 180 games a year. I think with the way we've been playing, we may have a chance to go deep in the tournament.
I never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.
You know the amazing thing? I love Henry Aaron . I think he's a wonderful guy and a great credit for baseball. To break Babe Ruth's record he went to bat 2,000-some more times than Ruth. When you look at it that way you see how great Ruth was. Ruth was probably the greatest athlete to perform in any sport. Never has there been anybody like him. Look at him. They talk about steroids. Nobody can argue he had steroids. He just ate. He was a great one.
Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.
