There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived
By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.
I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400.
All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street, folks will say, "There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived."
I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit.
No one can ever see the ball hit the bat because it's physically impossible to focus your eyes that way. However, when I hit the ball especially hard, I could smell the leather start to burn as it struck the wooden bat.
If you get fooled by a pitch with less than two strikes, take it.
If there was ever a man born to be a hitter it was me.
You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.
If you don't think too good, don't think too much.
If I could run like Mantle I'd hit .400 every year!
There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.
If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.
A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime...
