Concentration is that ability to not think about anything.
Doctors tell me I have the body of a thirty year old. I know I have the brain of a fifteen year old. If you've got both, you can play baseball.
Baseball is a universal language. Catch the ball, throw the ball, hit the ball.
I'm not bad (his speed). I'm no Joe Morgan, but I'm pretty good for a white guy.
See the ball; hit the ball.
A hitter's impatience is the pitcher's biggest advantage.
Some players you pat their butts, some players you kick their butts, some players you leave alone.
The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.
I was born on the day Lincoln was shot and the Titanic sank.
If you screw up and do something, don't lie about it; come clean.
There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it could, I would buy myself four hits every game.
Hitting. That's what I enjoy most. Realistically, it's probably the hardest thing to do in all of sport. Think about it. You've got a round ball, a round bat, and the object is to hit it square.
I always say, the only time you gotta worry about getting booed is when you're wearing a white uniform. And I've never been booed wearing a white uniform.
It doesn't take much to get me up for baseball. Once the National Anthem plays, I get chills. I even know the words to it now.
I made mistakes. I can’t whine about it. I’m the one that messed up and I’m paying the consequences. However, if I am given a second chance, I won’t need a third chance. And to be honest with you, I picked the wrong vice. I should have picked alcohol. I should have picked drugs or I should have picked up beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance. They haven’t given too many gamblers second chances in the world of baseball.
The only book I ever read cover to cover was The Pete Rose Story. I read half of The Lou Gehrig Story and then made a book report on it for four straight years.
I don't smoke. Smoking will hurt you when you try to run out a triple.
I'm no different from anybody else with two arms, two legs, and forty-two hundred hits.
I've got a 15-year old son and a 10-year old daughter, and if they were going to do one of the following things: be an alcoholic; be a drug offender; beat their wife or husband; or gamble. I hope they would gamble.
Sliding headfirst is the safest way to get to the next base, I think, and the fastest. You don't lose your momentum, and there's one more important reason I slide headfirst, it gets my picture in the paper.
Don Gullett's the only guy who can throw a baseball through a car wash and not get the ball wet.
When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than (Ty) Cobb.
If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty. I spent my entire life on the baseball fields of America, and I was not going to give up my profession without first seeing some hard evidence ... right or wrong, the punishment didn't fit the crime, so I denied the crime.
With the money I'm making, I should be playing two positions.
Playing baseball for a living is like having a license to steal.
