"You've got long arms. Got to extend them. Get off the plate like I (Jesse Barfield's uncle, Negro League Outfielder Albert Overton) did. Anything inside you can knock out of the park and anything outside you just go with, and with your extension, you'll still have power. Now go home and practice in front of a mirror. 'Over the second half of the season I hit .300 with 16 homers. And I hit the first major league homer ever to clear the right center field fence in Toronto, the first week after the lesson.'" - Jesse Barfield in Baseball Digest (December 1995, Mike Blake, 'Stars of the 1980s Recall Some Special Baseball Moments', Page 60)
