"During that twenty game hitting streak, everything I hit fell in, didn't matter if it was a line drive or a blooper, they all fell in. That happens sometimes. I never really understood hitting until after I retired and started playing slo-pitch softball. In that sport you have to wait for the pitch, keep your weight back, things like that. When I played in the majors I had a lot of bad habits, I had bad balance, I dove into balls and had poor recognition on pitches. I used to be an aggressive hitter, I was uncomfortable having two strikes on me so often I'd swing early in the count, sometimes they weren't the best pitches.” - Ken Berry in the Ken Berry Interview (Mark Liptak, August 2005) |
