I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with anything. I have not broken the laws of the United States or the laws of the Dominican Republic. I have been tested as recently as 2004, and I am clean.

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

I've always swung the same way. The difference is when I swing and miss, people say, 'He's swinging for the fences.' But when I swing and make contact people say, 'That's a nice swing.' But there's no difference, it's the same swing.

Mark (McGwire) is the man.

They can say whatever they want to say, but it is going to be hard, my friend, to duplicate me.

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.

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.
