You Fool Around With Different

There Are Certain Things I Can't Do, Certain Pitches I Can't Hit. You Stay Away From Them. You Try To Wait For Pitches You Can Hit. The Bat Speed Isn't What It Used To Be. You Make Up For It By Using Your Head, Working Counts, Getting Ahead In Counts And Getting Pitches To Hit And Hitting Them Hard.

The First Time I Picked Up A Bat In A Professional Game, I Hit A Ball Hard Left-handed, And My First Home Run Was So Effortless, It Surprised Me.

For Me, I Tend To Sit Back Sometimes And Just Count My Blessings Because Of How Long I've Played.

When You Go To Other Parks, They Hang Banners For The Wild-card Or Eastern Division Or Western Division Champions. Around Here, They Don't Hang Anything Unless Its For Being World Champions.

I Think Hitting Is More A Mentality Than A Philosophy. A Philosophy Is Somebody Telling You The Way They Think It Should Be. Well, Different People Believe In Different Things. My Thing Is This: Be Ready To Hit.
