“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.”
Ted Williams
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack Kerouac
“I left it out over the plate and he recognized it. He's a good hitter, and good hitters take advantage of bad pitches.”
Jeff Harris
“He was one of the most consistent hitters on our team in 2003. His approach at the plate is balanced. Can he hit .300? I think he can. I told him today and he'll move in the lineup if he produces. That goes for anybody else.”
Charlie Manuel
“He's been one of our hotter hitters, better hitters, all year. He's got a good idea at the plate. He took advantage of a fastball and hit it pretty well.”
Joe Mikulik
“That's two games in a row where we sent nine hitters to the plate in the first inning. That's one of the things I talked to them about ... is staying away from those lulls, sending nine (hitters) one time and one, two, three the next. We need to get to where we're consistent, but I can't complain. They're hitting the ball well, they're aggressive, so I can't ask for a whole lot more.”
Chip Dickinson
“She's one of the biggest talents we have. She's brilliant behind the plate and she's a good contact hitter with power.”
Allison Maire
