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.

The only reason I took steroids was for my health purposes. I did not take steroids to get any gain for any strength purposes.

If you want to maximize your total potential ... you have to know yourself first.

The mind is a powerful thing and most people don't use it properly.

I know it's tough. Everybody in baseball knows its tough. I'm just going to give it my best shot.

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.

Tears streamed down my face as I crossed the finish line. I was a new person, a runner.
