I came to the Braves on business, and I intended to see that business was good as long as I could.

I looked for the same pitch my whole career, a breaking ball. All of the time. I never worried about the fastball. They couldn't throw it past me, none of them.

Consistency is what counts; you have to be able to do things over and over again.

I can't recall a day this year or last when I did not hear the name of Babe Ruth.

I've tried a lot of things in the off-season, but the only thing I really know is baseball.

Maybe the day will come when I can sit back and be content....But until that day comes, I intend to stay in the batter's box - I don't let the big guys push me out of there anymore - and keep hammering away.

I don't want people to forget Babe Ruth. I just want them to remember Henry Aaron.
