I Don't See Pitches Down The Middle

I Played Sometimes About As Dull As You Can Play It. I Did Things The Right Way, You Know. I Think I Modeled My Playing Ability After One Of The All Time Greats, Joe Dimaggio. You Always Found Joe, When He Played, You Know, He Always Threw To The Right Base. He Ran, He Caught The Ball. He Did All The Right Things. He Was An Idol Of Mine In The Outfield. He Played The Game The Way It Was Supposed To Be Played.

You Visualize [pitches]. You See It In Your Head; You Think It...i Used To Play Every Pitcher In My Mind Before I Went To The Ballpark. I Started Getting Ready For Ever Game The Moment I Woke Up.

I Think About How A Guy Mentally Prepared Himself To Do Battle, To Go Out And Face The Pitcher. I Think So Many Hitters Do Not Know How To Get Themselves Prepared To Play Or Hit Against A Pitcher. You Have To Mentally Be Prepared To Hit Against All Pitchers.

What You Do With Your Life And How You Do It Is Not Only A Reflection On You, But On Your Family And All Of Those Institutions That Have Helped To Make You Who You Are.

I've Tried A Lot Of Things In The Off-season, But The Only Thing I Really Know Is Baseball.
