The Key To Hitting For High Average

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.'

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

Always Wanted To Be A Major League Player. Loved Baseball. Followed It. Loved To Play. Plus, I Could Always Hit.

Used To Be Bats Had Thick Handles And A Big Barrel. Then They Found It's Not The Size Of The Bat That Gets Home Runs - It's The Speed With Which You Can Swing It.

I Consciously Memorized The Speed At Which Every Pitcher In The League Threw His Fastball, Curve, And Slider; Then, I'd Pick Up The Speed Of The Ball In The First Thirty Feet Of Its Flight And Knew How It Would Move Once It Had Crossed The Plate.
