Don't compare me to Babe Ruth. God gave me the opportunity and the ability to be here at the right time, at the right moment, just like he gave Babe Ruth when he was playing. I just hope I can keep doing what I've been doing - keep taking care of business.
I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don't I have the numbers to be inducted?
I have not broken the laws of the United States or the laws of the Dominican Republic.
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.
My situation is different from Mark's. I'm not looking for home runs, I'm looking for the playoffs.
When you're in the middle of a pennant race, you can't go up there thinking about home runs.
I said to myself I've got to go up there and do it because the New York Mets keep winning every day. The game was on the line and I wanted to go out there and come through for my team. That win tonight means a lot for us.
