It was a hard time. It was something I would love to erase from my memory.

Yeah, I'm going to go back (after hitting his 500th home run, but commenting on reaching the 3,000 hit plateau) to my Punch-and-Judy days, hit the ball the other way, start bunting the ball a little bit.

I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period.

I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game.

When I testified in front of Congress, I know that I was testifying under oath and I told the truth.

They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion

The other deals with my life and my livelihood and my family and all that I stand for.
