I believe you learn social skills by mixing with people.

To obtain success, you must get the most out of your ability and to do that you must work on your weaknesses.

What you have to do in certain situations, that's called situational hitting.

To be a star and stay a star, I think you've got to have a certain air of arrogance about you, a cockiness, a swagger on the field that says, I can do this and you can't stop me. I know that I play baseball with this air of arrogance, but I think it's lacking in a lot of guys who could have the potential to be stars.

A good base stealer should make the whole infield jumpy. Whether you steal or not, you're changing the rhythm of the game. If the pitcher is concerned about you, he isn't concentrating enough on the batter.

He (Frank Robinson as Manager) can step on your shoes, but he doesn't mess up your shine.

Greg Maddux could put a baseball through a life saver if you asked him.
