I don't think I'm a home run hitter. Most of my home runs are line drives. If I hit it, thanks God. But it's not the kind of thing that I think about. I just go out there and try to have a better season than I had before. Home runs are not in my mind.
I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.
You always expect to hit for more power.
If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.
I don't hit home runs in BP.
That's the fourth extra base hit for the Padres - two doubles and a triple.
Baseball's rich in wonderful statistics, but it's hard to find one more beautiful than Stan Musial's hitting record. He didn't care where he was, he just hit.
I was afraid if I started to hit home runs, my average would drop.
I always try to have some good at-bats. Home runs come once in a while; that's good.
I'm just trying to score as many runs as I can each time. The more I can make over a hundred, the better.
You're not going to hit a bunch of three-run homers every game.
