Batting Quotes

I tried to use batting gloves at the beginning of every spring training up until 1999. It just didn’t feel good Picture Quote #1

When I first started swinging a bat, I swung righty. So one time, my dad came home, and he wanted to see my batting stance. So I showed him. He says, ‘You don’t hit right-handed. You hit left-handed.’ At that age I didn’t even really think about it. Just like ‘all right,’ and I switched hands. He said I’d thank him later Picture Quote #1

Ballplayers who are first to the dining room are usually last in batting averages Picture Quote #1

Without global human rights, labor and environmental movements, companies would still be hiring 12-year-olds as a matter of course and poisoning our groundwater without batting an eyelid Picture Quote #1

Our prep’s not going to be any different. It will be optional batting practice like there was today. I don’t want any more work. I don’t want extra study Picture Quote #1

Growing up, in my under-15 days I used to be a wicketkeeper, and that carried on till I was 17. Then I started focusing on my batting and moved on. I got into the Ranji team quite early, and generally, as a youngster, the first place you are put in is at bat-pad and short leg, so you had to work on your close-in fielding straightaway Picture Quote #1

Mr. Jamrach led me through the lobby and into the menagerie. The first was a parrot room, a fearsome screaming place of mad round eyes, crimson breasts that beat against bars, wings that flapped against their neighbours, blood red, royal blue, gypsy yellow, grass green. The birds were crammed along perches. Macaws hung upside down here and there, batting their white eyes, and small green parrots flittered above our heads in drifts. A hot of cockatoos looked down from on high over the shrill madness, high crested, creamy breasted. The screeching was like laughter in hell Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Such men feel imprisoned by invisible chains - walled in, sewn up in layers of batting. For them, the final feat of autoliberation was all too foreseeable Picture Quote #1

I had very good support from Democrats and Republicans all throughout my administration. I had a very high batting average. We added more jobs per year in my four years than any other president since the Second World War Picture Quote #1

We have to judge politicians by their cumulative score. In one innings they make a great catch, in another they drop the ball. In one they score a home run, in another they strike out. But it is their cumulative batting average that we are interested in Picture Quote #1

To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better Picture Quote #1

My desires are simply I love to teach, I love to be in uniform, I love to throw batting practice, I love to be with the kids Picture Quote #1

I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head Picture Quote #1

We devote our entire lives to becoming good ball players. We take batting practice until our hands bleed Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for Picture Quote #1

It was no mean trick doing the wiring with those mittens on. But I managed it and crawled out, batting spiders into the shadows. I could hear a thud as they hit the floor joists, then a scuttling sound, then, worst of all, the silence of spiders Picture Quote #1

A run is more difficult to make than no save, because batting is in its nature a far less certain and reliable thing than bowling and fielding Picture Quote #1

Is success just about winning? Acclaim? Trophies? Wealth? Our personal happiness or satisfaction? I have been blessed to experience some of these over the years, and I can answer without batting an eye: No. Accomplishments, applause, awards and fortune are rewards that often come as the result of hard work and a determined spirit, but there is something bigger. Something better. Something that will outlast the winningest season, the plushest corner office, the heftiest bonus and the loudest cheers. That something can only be found when we look beyond the final score Picture Quote #1

Teams can’t prepare for me in batting practice. They can’t find anyone who throws as slow as I do Picture Quote #1

Most institutional investors feel compelled to swing at almost every pitch and forgo batting selectivity for frequency Picture Quote #1

Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists Picture Quote #1

You throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team Picture Quote #1

My batting average has been good, so people ask how much luck is involved. I tell them when I work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, I get lucky Picture Quote #1

My own tastes happen to be in tune with what the public wants. I think that’s the reason my batting average is so high, not because I’ve discovered some brilliant formula Picture Quote #1

All baseball fans can be divided into two groups: those who come to batting practice and the others. Only those in the first category have much chance of amounting to anything Picture Quote #1

I think we’ve been a lot more disciplined with our bowling. Our batting at times has been more disciplined as well Picture Quote #1

It is difficult batting in artificial light with a red ball but it’s a horrible task for umpires to make a judgement, particularly if they’re going by light meters Picture Quote #1

It is only fair to admit, however, that my batting average in the crystal ball league is point, zero, zero, zero Picture Quote #1

I have no idea what my batting average was in high school, but I know it wasn’t below.450, and that’s pretty good hitting where I come from Picture Quote #1
