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

If you have a bad day in baseball, and start thinking about it, you will have 10 more.

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

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.

Mark (McGwire) is the man.

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.

You have to enjoy it. It is not going to happen every year, so this is the year that it is happening and we have got to go out there and enjoy it.
