“Old third basemen become first basemen, and old first basemen become d...” — George Brett Quote

“Old third basemen become first basemen, and old first basemen become designated hitters.”

“Not many people get to the major leagues and succeed right away. There are some struggles. Everyone seems to struggle.”

“Do I want someone to get more hits than me? No. Do I want someone to hit more home runs than me? No. Do I want someone to have more RBI than me? No. I get a kick out of seeing the all-time leaders and my name's on top of every one, with the exception of strikeouts. I get a kick out of that.”

“Hitters never showed me up, as hard as I threw. And I was pretty mean out on the mound.”

“My average against hitters is pretty good.”

“Velo comes and goes... For me, I worry about, 'What are the reactions of the hitters? How are they responding?'”
