"She (his mother) used to pitch to me and my dad would shag and as I got older every time I hit a ball back through the middle, close to my mother I got an additional chore to do, so my mother was instrumental in making me a pull hitter." - Eddie Mathews (08/07/1978, Hall of Fame Induction Day Speech, Source)
