More quotes by Ted Williams
Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.
Ted Williams
The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!
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
A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime.
Ted Williams
I object to fishing tournaments less for what they do to fish than what they do to fishermen.
Ted Williams
The most fun I ever had in my life was hittin' a baseball. And the best sound I ever heard in my life was a ball hit with a bat. Powww!
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
By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.
Ted Williams
If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.
Ted Williams
Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.
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
You've got to be ready for the fastball.
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
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
I don't want to take anything away from Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. They're both great hitters, but they're batting against guys they never would have seen in previous years.
Ted Williams
I've found in life the more you practice, the better you get. If you want something enough and work hard to get it, your chances of success are greater.
Ted Williams
If I could run like Mantle I'd hit .400 every year!
Ted Williams
If you don't think too good, don't think too much.
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
Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it.
Ted Williams
