Whatever We Do, Make Sure We Clean

I'm Hoping Someday That Some Kid, Black Or White, Will Hit More Home Runs Than Myself. Whoever It Is, I'd Be Pulling For Him.

The First Thing Baseball Wants To Do Is Make You A Superstar And Then Say That You Owe Baseball Something. I Don't Owe Baseball Anything. Baseball Owes Me.

You Visualize [pitches]. You See It In Your Head; You Think It...i Used To Play Every Pitcher In My Mind Before I Went To The Ballpark. I Started Getting Ready For Ever Game The Moment I Woke Up.

I Played Sometimes About As Dull As You Can Play It. I Did Things The Right Way, You Know. I Think I Modeled My Playing Ability After One Of The All Time Greats, Joe Dimaggio. You Always Found Joe, When He Played, You Know, He Always Threw To The Right Base. He Ran, He Caught The Ball. He Did All The Right Things. He Was An Idol Of Mine In The Outfield. He Played The Game The Way It Was Supposed To Be Played.

I Would Like People Not To Think In Terms Of The 755 Home Runs I Hit But Think In Terms Of What I've Accomplished Off The Field And Some Of The Things I Stood For.
