More quotes by Hank Aaron
I would like people not to think in terms of the 755 home runs I hit but think in terms of what I've accomplished off the field and some of the things I stood for.
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
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
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
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
Didn't come up here to read. Came up here to hit.
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
Roger Maris lost his hair the season he hit sixty-one, I still have all my hair, but when it's over, I'm going home to Mobile and fish for a long time.
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
I don't want people to forget Babe Ruth. I just want them to remember Henry Aaron.
Hank Aaron
[My father] didn't make much money, and I tell a lot of people, you know, I was a vegetarian before people knew what a vegetarian was. That's all I ate was vegetables.
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
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
You can only milk a cow so long, then you're left holding the pail.
Hank Aaron
Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is 80% of being a successful hitter. The other 20% is just execution.
Hank Aaron
Last year, I was sort of a kid and I was a little scared, I ain't scared any more.
Hank Aaron
Can I smoke now without someone taking my picture?
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.
