And do drugs, kids. You learn that confidence is 99% of what it is you do. Literally. I went from one season to another, where I didn’t become really become much of a hitter. I just realized that I could hit the ball. And instead of getting up to the plate and wondering if I’m going to hit the ball, I wonder where I want to hit the ball. Suddenly, I was a hitter.”
