"In his 1970 book The Science of Hitting, Williams recalled that Hornsby, whom Rickey had rebuilt, taught him, “A great hitter isn’t born, he’s made. He’s made out of practice, fault correction, and confidence.”21 Williams tried to impart the same lesson to his academy audience. “He talked about not taking one hundred swings a day, but five hundred swings a day,” Stewart remembers." - Travis Lindbergh
