I'm not here to discuss the past... I'm here to be positive.
I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.
I know it's tough. Everybody in baseball knows its tough. I'm just going to give it my best shot.
I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history.
I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie next to his. I'm damn proud of that.
Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone.
This is a great thing that's happening in baseball. We don't know if it will ever happen again.
Wouldn't it be great if we just ended up tied? I think it would be beautiful.
Do you want to know the truth, or see me hit a few dingers?
Once and for all, I did not use steroids or any other illegal substance.
I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989 -1990 off season, and then after I was injured in 1993, I used steroids again.
There's not a pill or an injection that's going to give me, going to give any player the hand-eye coordination to hit a baseball.
I'm sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids.
I have had to tell my son, my parents, my friends that I used steroids. It's been very hard. It's been very difficult.
You don't know that you'll ever have to talk about the skeleton in your closet.
