For Me, I Tend To

You Fool Around With Different Pitches Playing Catch, But It's Not The Same When You've Got To Face Some Guy With A Bat In His Hand.

I Think Hitting Is More A Mentality Than A Philosophy. A Philosophy Is Somebody Telling You The Way They Think It Should Be. Well, Different People Believe In Different Things. My Thing Is This: Be Ready To Hit.

My Dad Gave Me A Haircut... And It Wasn't A Very Good One. When I Went Out Of The House, My Friends Got On My Case And Said It Looked Like Someone Put A Chili Bowl Over My Head And Cut Around It.

There Are Certain Things I Can't Do, Certain Pitches I Can't Hit. You Stay Away From Them. You Try To Wait For Pitches You Can Hit. The Bat Speed Isn't What It Used To Be. You Make Up For It By Using Your Head, Working Counts, Getting Ahead In Counts And Getting Pitches To Hit And Hitting Them Hard.

It's Good To Know You're Working For Someone You're Familiar With, Who's A Friend And He Has Your Back And You Have His Back Also.
