I Don't Want People To

My Motto Was Always To Keep Swinging. Whether I Was In A Slump Or Feeling Badly Or Having Trouble Off The Field, The Only Thing To Do Was Keep Swinging.

You Visualize [pitches]. You See It In Your Head; You Think It...i Used To Play Every Pitcher In My Mind Before I Went To The Ballpark. I Started Getting Ready For Ever Game The Moment I Woke Up.

Once The Record Was Mine, I Had To Use It Like A Louisville Slugger. I Believed, And Still Do, That There Was A Reason Why I Was Chosen To Break The Record. I Feel It's My Task To Carry On Where Jackie Robinson Left Off, And I Only Know Of One Way To Go About It. It's The Only Way I've Ever Had Of Dealing With Things Like Fastballs And Bigotry -- Keep Swinging At Them.

Looking At The Ball Going Over The Fence Isn't Going To Help.

To This Day, Whenever I'm In Milwaukee, Which Is Often, I'm Reminded That The People There Still Haven't Gotten Over The Braves Leaving ... If It Helps, They Should Know The Players Haven't Either.
