Words of Wisdom

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs.

Yogi - isms

I never blame myself when I am not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it is not my fault that I am not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?
