They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it.

They give you a round bat and they throw you a round ball and they tell you to hit it square.

I don't compare 'em, I just catch 'em.

If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of the game - then you're a good ballplayer.

It's not hard. When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But when I'm hitting, I hit anybody.

The thing about that is, I don't want the ball to hit him. If the throw wasn't going to beat him, I didn't want to allow the ball to ricochet off him and get away and score a run. I was trying to prevent that.
