He (Roberto Clemente) is a hero to me.

When you're in the middle of a pennant race, you can't go up there thinking about home runs.

I know a little about Hack (Wilson) because his picture is next to my locker. I am lucky to be there at the right time. People will now remember two guys, Hack Wilson and myself, and the season is not over yet.

I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don't I have the numbers to be inducted?

Mark (McGwire), you know I love you. It's been unbelievable. I wish you could be here with me today. I know you are watching me and I know you have the same feelings for me as I have for you in my heart.

I'm the type of person who likes to enjoy everything that I do, take advantage of every opportunity in life.

It's going to be unbelievable, you know. There's going to be a lot of people cheering for Mark McGwire and me. And, hey, we'll see how it goes.
