Bunt Quotations

Don't bunt. Aim out of the ball park. Aim for the company of immortals.
David Ogilvy

If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera.
Ryne Sandberg

I used to get 15-20 bunt hits a season. Now, I'm down to five or six. Infielders still play me in, but I'm always looking if the opportunity is there.
Steve Finley
