In Cuba, I would start the first two months hitting around .260 with three or four home runs. After the first half of the season, I would get hot, and that's when I would have my best results.
It was everyone going up there to swing for the fences, because the home runs were what would get them on 'SportsCenter.' That really changed the mindset of the players.
You're gonna have to learn to get out there in front of those cameras and hold your head up. Take charge when you're singing.
I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 then swinging for home runs.
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball.
I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.
Used to be bats had thick handles and a big barrel. Then they found it's not the size of the bat that gets home runs - it's the speed with which you can swing it.
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.
I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.
