ball best drive good guys high hitters list speed top
There are so many good hitters, but he's still at the top of the list of the best hitters in the game. We're two different hitters. He's left-handed, I'm right-handed. I try to drive the ball a little more, he relies on speed a little more. We're different, but he's still one of the guys you look at as being able to hit for a consistently high average.

I told him he should give half of the Gold Glove to me for all the balls I threw in the dirt that he had to scoop up and made him look good. There's a lot of great first basemen in our league, but no one like Tex.

exhibition forward four further innings looking playing rather reason relax round spring states stay united win
One reason I am looking forward to playing is because of the misconception that the United States is going to take this as an exhibition rather than a competitive tournament, and that could not be further from the truth. If I wanted to just relax I would stay in Spring Training, play my four innings and then go play a round of golf. I want to win this thing.
