I hit an inside-the-park home run! I beat it out! Can you believe that?
Every Strike is one step closer to a Home Run
Whenever I hit a home run, I make certain I touch all four bases.
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball... The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.
I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.
What do I think about when I strike out? I think about hitting home runs.
I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.
I can't have 3, ... so I just put a 1 in front of it. Also, I was a big Dan Marino fan growing up and 13 was my number as a high school quarterback.
Each strikeout brings me closer to my next homerun.
"I'm going over the valley." (Dying from throat cancer, his doctor found him wandering around his room, asked him where was he going?)

That last one sounded kinda high to me.
The termites have got me.
