I don't see pitches down the middle anymore - not even in batting practice.
Hank Aaron

I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.
Dizzy Dean

I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.
Dontrelle Willis

I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.
Casey Stengel

I'm still batting away on my politics for the Labour Party. I'm much further to the left of them than I used to be, but that's because they've moved, not me.
Billy Bragg

I've been taking batting practice in my barn where nobody can see me, so I may be better than anyone thinks.
Garth Brooks

I've learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.
Loretta Young

If Trescothick had tried to get me off the field when batting well, I'd have hit him with my bat.
Geoffrey Boycott

It would be useless for any player to attempt to explain successful batting.
Tris Speaker

Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television, batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.
Bob Woodward

The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.
Pete Rose

To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better.
Richie Ashburn

We devote our entire lives to becoming good ball players. We take batting practice until our hands bleed.
Willie Stargell
