Once and for all, I did not use steroids or any other illegal substance.

I wish that every player could feel what I've felt in visiting ballparks. The receptions I've received, it's blown me away. It's absolutely remarkable.

Sammy Sosa's a September player, so you have to watch out for him. It's crunch time, time to make history.

I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history.

Once and for all, I did not use steroids or any other illegal substance.

To be the first player to do it three consecutive years (fifty or more home runs), you go back through the thousands of power hitters who played this game and nobody has ever done it, and I can sit here and say I'm the first. I'm pretty proud of that.

Some of the longest home runs I've hit, I didn't actually realize they were going that far. Everyone says, 'What does it feel like to hit the ball that far?' Actually, there's no feeling at all. I know when the ball meets the bat whether or not it's left the park. It's a nice easy thing.
