I Think Hitting Is More A Mentality

You Fool Around With Different Pitches Playing Catch, But It's Not The Same When You've Got To Face Some Guy With A Bat In His Hand.

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.

I Have Always Loved The Bay Area. I Spent A Lot Of Time In The Bay Area. I Started My Career There. That's A Huge Part Of The Excitement For Me.

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.
