More quotes by 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
Didn't come up here to read. Came up here to hit.
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 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
Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is 80% of being a successful hitter. The other 20% is just execution.
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
Does Pete (Rose) hustle? Before the All-Star game he came into the clubhouse and took off his shoes and they ran another mile without him.
Hank Aaron
There is no logical reason why girls shouldn't play baseball. It's not all that tough.
Hank Aaron
You can only milk a cow so long, then you're left holding the pail.
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
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
I'm sure glad this isn't my home ball park.
Hank Aaron
Last year, I was sort of a kid and I was a little scared, I ain't scared any more.
Hank Aaron
There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life.
Hank Aaron
Failure will never stand int he way of success if you learn from it.
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
Can I smoke now without someone taking my picture?
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
I think what separates a superstar from the average ballplayer is that he concentrates just a little bit longer.
Hank Aaron
I never doubted my ability, but when you hear all your life you're inferior, it makes you wonder if the other guys have something you've never seen before. If they do, I'm still looking for it.
Hank Aaron
