This is a great thing that's happening in baseball. We don't know if it will ever happen again.

I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.

I'm not here to discuss the past. I'm here to be positive...

The mind is a powerful thing and most people don't use it properly.

The thing I sort of get tired of hearing is if I don't hit home runs or don't get hits, that the pressure of the media is getting to me. Absolutely not. Believe me, it's not getting to me.

I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.

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