I feel that I was a good all-around player, I had good speed, a good arm and could play the outfield.

It would have been a helluva lot more fun if I had never hit those 61 homeruns... all it brought me was headaches.

I think the most privacy I had was when the game was going on.

Now they talk on the radio about the record set by (Babe) Ruth, and (Joe) DiMaggio and Henry Aaron. But they rarely mention mine. Do you know what I have to show for the sixty-one home runs? Nothing, exactly nothing.
