I'll admit I said something I shouldn't have said.

I'm merely a baseball player, guys. In the great scheme of things, my thoughts, opinions and attitudes are of little importance.

Like me or don't like me, I'm not going to adjust my behavior, just to gain a few more positive fans.

I have hurt people. It was unintentional, but nevertheless, there was damage done.

The biggest thing I don’t like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?

I am extremely sorry for the stress and confusion I have brought on the Braves organization.
