I'm no different from anybody else with two arms, two legs, and forty-two hundred hits.

I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits.

When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.

When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than Cobb.

I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old.

There is no doubt that because I am a switch hitter I have one of the best offensive advantages that a hitter can have.
