More quotes by Ted Williams
A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime.
Ted Williams
Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it.
Ted Williams
Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.
Ted Williams
If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.
Ted Williams
You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.
Ted Williams
There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.
Ted Williams
Joe DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career can not be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country.
Ted Williams
A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'
Ted Williams
If I could run like Mantle I'd hit .400 every year!
Ted Williams
Hitting is the most important part of the game. It is where the big money is, where much of the status is, and the fan interest.
Ted Williams
There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.
Ted Williams
You've got to be ready for the fastball.
Ted Williams
All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth.
Ted Williams
Think. Don't just swing. Think about the pitcher, what he threw you last time up, his best pitch, who's up next. Think.
Ted Williams
The key to hitting is just plain working at it. Work, that's the real secret.
Ted Williams
All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street, folks will say, There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived.
Ted Williams
If you don't think too good, don't think too much.
Ted Williams
It's a funny thing, but, as years go by, I think you appreciate more and more what a great thing it was to be a United States Marine... People will tell me what a shame it was I had to go back into the service a second time, but I'm kinda glad I did.. Besides, I am a U.S. Marine and I'll be one till I die.
Ted Williams
The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!
Ted Williams
By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.
Ted Williams
