 I know it's tough. Everybody in baseball knows its tough. I'm just going to give it my best shot. |
| This is a great thing that's happening in baseball. We don't know if it will ever happen again. |
| I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it. |
| Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone. |
| Do you want to know the truth, or see me hit a few dingers? |
| I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year. |
| Wouldn't it be great if we just ended up tied? I think it would be beautiful. |
| I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history. |
| I wish that every player could feel what I've felt in visiting ballparks. The receptions I've received, it's blown me away. It's absolutely remarkable. |
| I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is. |
| I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the ball had enough to get out. It's an absolutely incredible feeling. I can honestly say I did it. |
| Once and for all, I did not use steroids or any other illegal substance. |
| What a perfect way to end the home stand, by hitting sixty-two for the city of St. Louis and all the fans. I truly wanted to do it here and I did. Thank you St. Louis. |
| I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie next to his. I'm damn proud of that. |
| I'm not here to discuss the past... I'm here to be positive. |
| I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter. |
