“Hitting is an art, but it's also a science.”

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

“A hitter's stance is his signature. It should be comfortable and balanced.”

“There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them works.”

“Stay back, stay back, stay back. You can't hit if you're out on your front foot.”

“Rhythm and timing are the two most important things in hitting.”

“You don't hit with your arms, you hit with your legs and your hips.”

“The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of baseball is the organization of the church.”
