Just Speed, Raw Speed, Blinding

I've Been Called One Of The Hardest Bargainers Who Ever Held Out, And I'm Proud Of It.

I Have Observed That Baseball Is Not Unlike War, And When You Get Right Down To It, We Batters Are The Heavy Artillery.

The Way Those Clubs Shift Against Ted Williams, I Can't Understand How He Can Be So Stupid Not To Accept The Challenge To Him And Hit To Left Field.

Every Great Batter Works On The Theory That The Pitcher Is More Afraid Of Him Than He Is Of The Pitcher.

He Batted Against Spitballs, Shineballs, Emeryballs And All The Other Trick Deliveries. He Never Figured Anything Out Or Studied Anything With The Same Scientific Approach I Gave It. He Just Swung. If He'd Ever Had Any Knowledge Of Batting, His Average Would Have Been Phenomenal. ... He Seemed Content To Just Punch The Ball, And I Can Still See Those Line Drives Whistling To The Far Precincts. Joe Jackson Hit The Ball Harder Than Any Man Ever To Play Baseball.
