It Took Me Seventeen Years To Get

Can I Smoke Now Without Someone Taking My Picture?

Baseball Needs Me Because It Needs Somebody To Stir The Pot, And I Need It Because It's My Life. It's The Means I Have To Make A Little Difference In The World.

I Think What Separates A Superstar From The Average Ballplayer Is That He Concentrates Just A Little Bit Longer.

The Way I See It, It's A Great Thing To Be The Man Who Hit The Most Home Runs, But It's A Greater Thing To Be The Man Who Did The Most With The Home Runs He Hit. So As Long As There's A Chance That Maybe I Can Hammer Out A Little Justice Now And Then, Or A Little Opportunity Here And There, I Intend To Do As I Always Have -- Keep Swinging.

Once The Record Was Mine, I Had To Use It Like A Louisville Slugger. I Believed, And Still Do, That There Was A Reason Why I Was Chosen To Break The Record. I Feel It's My Task To Carry On Where Jackie Robinson Left Off, And I Only Know Of One Way To Go About It. It's The Only Way I've Ever Had Of Dealing With Things Like Fastballs And Bigotry -- Keep Swinging At Them.
