When a pitcher's throwing a spitball, don't worry and don't complain, just hit the dry side like I do.
I could always hit. I learned to hit with a broomstick and a ball of tape and I could always get that bat on the ball.
Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.
It seemed like I always did some great hitting in Brooklyn. The field there was close to the stands. Every time I started walking to the plate, I could hear the fans say, 'Here comes that man again. Here comes that man.'
The one unbreakable rule about hitting is this: if a batter hits well with his own particular stance and swing, think twice - or more - before suggesting a change.
A lot of hitters stay away from the plate, some are close up, some are forward, some are back. The thing about hitting is this: You have to know the strike zone. That's the most important thing. Hit strikes and put the bat on the ball.
