Do you want to know the truth, or see me hit a few dingers?

The only reason I took steroids was for my health purposes. I did not take steroids to get any gain for any strength purposes.

Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone.

I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the ball had enough to get out. It's an absolutely incredible feeling. I can honestly say I did it.

What he (Sammy Sosa) and I have been doing is fantastic. What we've done nobody in the game has done for thirty-seven years. I'm pretty happy with the way things have been going.

I do believe my personal spirituality, which spirituality itself I don't really equate to anything more than my personal connection with nature and the universe. With what is real, not a manmade contrivance. Finding a connection with those things through my music is something I've begun to take more seriously in order to understand why I feel that way.

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