More quotes by Hank Aaron
Baseball needs me because it needs somebody to stir the pot, and I need it because it's my life. It's the means I have to make a little difference in the world.
Hank Aaron
If I knew exactly what I know now and had it to do over, I'd be a switch hitter. No telling what I could have done.
Hank Aaron
You may not think you're going to make it. You may want to quit. But if you keep your eye on the ball, you can accomplish anything.
Hank Aaron
The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage in weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting.
Hank Aaron
Last year, I was sort of a kid and I was a little scared, I ain't scared any more.
Hank Aaron
Baseball is a lot like the ivy-covered wall of Wrigley Field--it gives off a great appearance, but when you run into it, you discover the bricks underneath. At times, it seems that we're dealing with a group of men who aren't much different than others we've all run into over the years, except they wear neckties instead of robes and hoods.
Hank Aaron
I have always felt that although someone may defeat me, and I strike out in a ball game, the pitcher on the particular day was the best player. But I know when I see him again, I'm going to be ready for his curve ball. Failure is a part of success.
Hank Aaron
To this day, whenever I'm in Milwaukee, which is often, I'm reminded that the people there still haven't gotten over the Braves leaving ... If it helps, they should know the players haven't either.
Hank Aaron
I never thought home runs were all that exciting. I still think the triple is the most exciting thing in baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking the ball on his 1-yard line and running 99 yards for a touchdown.
Hank Aaron
Whatever we do, make sure we clean up baseball.
Hank Aaron
I think what separates a superstar from the average ballplayer is that he concentrates just a little bit longer.
Hank Aaron
I don't feel right unless I have a sport to play or at least a way to work up a sweat.
Hank Aaron
Failure will never stand int he way of success if you learn from it.
Hank Aaron
My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging.
Hank Aaron
Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he's treated. We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country.
Hank Aaron
Failure is a part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it.
Hank Aaron
I'm sure glad this isn't my home ball park.
Hank Aaron
The first thing baseball wants to do is make you a superstar and then say that you owe baseball something. I don't owe baseball anything. Baseball owes me.
Hank Aaron
I had many, many, many death threats. I couldn't open letters for a long time, because they all had to be opened by either the FBI or somebody.
Hank Aaron
I'm hoping someday that some kid, black or white, will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is, I'd be pulling for him.
