You can't hit without your hands.

When I go home my mother still makes me take out the garbage.

I love the game of baseball.

People expect you to play your best, so I go through a routine to prepare myself so that I know I'm physically and mentally ready - prepared for the game.

Careful observers may foretell the hour (By sure prognostics) when to dread a show'r. While rain depends, the pensive cat gives o'er Her frolics, and pursues her tail no more.

I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.
