But I think mainly, you know, just up in the East Coast, it's where it all originated. You know, Philadelphia. It goes back to the beginning. So, you know, fans have a lot of history, and they love their teams up here.

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.

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

My life was on the line here and my career and everything I worked for, it was hanging by a thread

You know, my family stood for something that they believed in, and I wasn't about to turn my back on them.

My dad was the force behind me early on. He was just infatuated with baseball. He was the one that basically taught me how to play the game. He gave a lot of his time working out with me, practicing and taking me to a lot of different games. It was hard work between both of us.

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