Aaron: My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging.
-
Aaron: I looked for the same pitch my whole career, a breaking ball. All of the time. I never worried about the fastball. They couldn't throw it past me, none of them.
-
Aaron: Last year, I was sort of a kid and I was a little scared, I ain't scared any more.
-
Aaron: I'm hoping someday that some kid, black or white, will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is, I'd be pulling for him.
-
Aaron: I don't want them to forget Ruth, I just want them to remember me!

Aaron: I don't see pitches down the middle anymore - not even in batting practice.
-
