“Chipper, you are really good,” she said. “Don’t let anybody ever tell you otherwise. When you walk out on that field, act like you’re the best player out there. Don’t do it with words. Do it with your presence. Walk up to that plate like ‘I’m going to hit this ball nine hundred feet.’ Sometimes you’re not going to be the best player on the field, but don’t let anybody else know that.” That is where I learned what Mom, Dad, and I call necessary arrogance, and I took that mentality to the plate from the time I was a kid to my last at-bat as a Brave.”
