Used to be bats had thick handles and a big barrel. Then they found it's not the size of the bat that gets home runs - it's the speed with which you can swing it.

There was never a day when I was as good as Joe DiMaggio at his best. Joe was the best, the very best I ever saw.

I think I had the smallest handle around. When I got my bats, I even trimmed them down. I used to scrape them. Some years later when I started getting older, I used to start with a 33 and in the summer it got down to 31 and then probably in September got down to 30.

The one unbreakable rule about hitting is this: if a batter hits well with his own particular stance and swing, think twice - or more - before suggesting a change.

The key to hitting for high average is to relax, concentrate, and don't hit the fly ball to center field.

I started to crouch because that way I could guard the plate better, and I always wanted to hit .300 in the big leagues.

I never realized that batting a little ball around could cause so much commotion. I now know how (Charles) Lindbergh must have felt when he returned from St. Louis.

There is no one correct way to bat, and so of course there is no one correct stance for it.

Always wanted to be a Major League player. Loved baseball. Followed it. Loved to play. Plus, I could always hit.

What made me sign with the Cardinals? Because they used salesmanship, the personal touch.

Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.
