{{cquote|My theory was relax, concentrate and don't hit the ball to center field. After about five years, I started pulling the ball. The toughest thing about hitting is trying to pull that outside pitch. That's where everybody makes outs now, trying to pull that pitch. After five years, I got more confidence. I was hitting .350 or whatever and started pulling the ball and hitting it out, so pulling the ball is a tough thing to do.}}
