Get Eight Hours Of Sleep

I Learned To Hit With A Broomstick And A Ball Of Tape And I Could Always Get That Bat On The Ball.

I Consciously Memorized The Speed At Which Every Pitcher In The League Threw His Fastball, Curve, And Slider; Then, I'd Pick Up The Speed Of The Ball In The First Thirty Feet Of Its Flight And Knew How It Would Move Once It Had Crossed The Plate.

Back In My Day, We Didn't Think About Money As Much. We Enjoyed Playing The Game. We Loved Baseball. I Didn't Think About Anybody Else But The Cardinals.

I Started To Crouch Because That Way I Could Guard The Plate Better, And I Always Wanted To Hit .300 In The Big Leagues.

Hitting Is Like Swimming. Once You Learn The Stroke, You Never Forget It.
