Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game. Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer. DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career cannot be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country. I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit. If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400. If there was ever a man born to be a hitter it was me. There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game. There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher. |
