Baseball's Ten Commandments
-
Nobody ever becomes a ballplayer by walking after a ball.
-
You will never become a .300 hitter unless you take the bat off your shoulder.
-
If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, you haven't done much today.
-
Keep your head up and you may not have to keep it down.
-
When you start to slide, slide. He who changes his mind may have to change a good leg for a bad one.
-
Do not alibi on bad hops. Anybody can field the good ones.
-
Always run them out. You never can tell.
-
Never quit.
-
Do not find too much fault with the umpires. You cannot expect them to be as perfect as you are.
-
A pitcher who hasn't control hasn't anything.
