Hitting Is Like Swimming. Once You Learn

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.

There Is No One Correct Way To Bat, And So Of Course There Is No One Correct Stance For It.

I Think I Had The Smallest Handle Around. When I Got My Bats, I Even Trimmed Them Down. I Used To Scrape Them. Some Years Later When I Started Getting Older, I Used To Start With A 33 And In The Summer It Got Down To 31 And Then Probably In September Got Down To 30.

The First Principle Of Contract Negotiations Is Don't Remind Them Of What You Did In The Past - Tell Them What You're Going To Do In The Future.

The Key To Hitting For High Average Is To Relax, Concentrate, And Don't Hit The Fly Ball To Center Field.
