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.

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.

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

I don't think anybody ever saw anybody taking anything.

To snap my fingers and let it go away. Even if it takes the 3,000th hit with it, just let it all go away

With all the great products that are apparently out there that are undetectable, for me to take something like that... when people take things that now aren't even being tested for, does it make any sense?
