I hope that people learn from my mistake and I hope that the fans forgive me.

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.

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

Baseball gets better for whatever reason.

I have never used steroids. Period.

There's a lot of history in Boston and a lot of history, obviously, in New York with all the championships.

I hope that people learn from my mistake and I hope that the fans forgive me.
