Hitting in a game is no different than hitting in a home run contest. It pisses me off to say Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter. He's playing in a wussy era. The game is soft. You never get thrown at today. Last thing a hitter has to worry about today is getting hit. The first thing Hank Aaron had to worry about is: Am I going to survive this at-bat because I'm black.

I've written enough books with real celebrities, such as Walter Payton and Hank Aaron and Billy Graham, to know that fame looks good only to people who don't have it.

Jerry B. Jenkins

Anytime you can see a hitter and face a hitter, you gain knowledge, and you gain that experience. Whether they hit a homerun off you, or you strike them out or whatever it is, it's information.

Jon Lester

Anytime anybody impersonates you, it's a great compliment.

Robert Wagner

Aaron Gordon, obviously, is a great runner.

I mean the home run king, to me, is Hank Aaron, but statistically, it's Barry Bonds.

Joe Buck

More than anyone else, Hank Aaron made me wish I wasn't a manager.

Walter Alston

More than anyone else, he's (Hank Aaron) made me wish I wasn't a manager.

Walter Alston

I was a lousy hitter in May doing the same things that made me a great hitter in June.

The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back.
