Making The Majors Is Not As Hard

Once The Record Was Mine, I Had To Use It Like A Louisville Slugger. I Believed, And Still Do, That There Was A Reason Why I Was Chosen To Break The Record. I Feel It's My Task To Carry On Where Jackie Robinson Left Off, And I Only Know Of One Way To Go About It. It's The Only Way I've Ever Had Of Dealing With Things Like Fastballs And Bigotry -- Keep Swinging At Them.

I Can't Recall A Day This Year Or Last When I Did Not Hear The Name Of Babe Ruth.

To This Day, Whenever I'm In Milwaukee, Which Is Often, I'm Reminded That The People There Still Haven't Gotten Over The Braves Leaving ... If It Helps, They Should Know The Players Haven't Either.

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.

Failure Will Never Stand Int He Way Of Success If You Learn From It.
