Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"I like to put the ball in play. With two strikes, I'm going to try to hit the ball up the middle and hit it to left field. Early in the count, I try to drive the ball. But once I get two strikes, I try to put the ball in play. Also, when I'm swinging the bat well, I'm going to hit the ball all over the ballpark. When I'm going well, I'm going to hit the ball to left-center or right-center, in the gaps a lot." - Hal Morris In Baseball Digest (November 1991, Felice Clyne, "Hitting Consistency, A Goal of the Reds' Hal Morris")
