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.

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

Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.

I still feel like I can play defense at first base at a very high level

I wish that they could have more freedoms to be able to come and play. I know that the only way that they can get out is by, you know, defecting to another country or whatever, or getting on a boat

I would love to go back and help rebuild that country and help - you know, kind of like what's going on with Iraq right now. You know, they've got a new government in place. They're trying to rebuild the country. I would love for that to happen in Cuba also

Well, you know, I left Cuba as a kid when I was 6 years old back in 1971.
