Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone.
Mark McGwire
Image
I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.

Image
When people put my name next to (Babe) Ruth's name it still blows me away. I'm still in awe.

This is a great thing that's happening in baseball. We don't know if it will ever happen again.

Do you want to know the truth, or see me hit a few dingers?
Mark McGwire
Image
I think back and I really feel for what he (Roger Maris) went through, for all the negative stuff that was going on in his life. I wish it didn't happen.

To be the first player to do it three consecutive years (fifty or more home runs), you go back through the thousands of power hitters who played this game and nobody has ever done it, and I can sit here and say I'm the first. I'm pretty proud of that.

I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie next to his. I'm damn proud of that.

I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.

Some of the longest home runs I've hit, I didn't actually realize they were going that far. Everyone says, 'What does it feel like to hit the ball that far?' Actually, there's no feeling at all. I know when the ball meets the bat whether or not it's left the park. It's a nice easy thing.

I care deeply about anyone who listens to my music. That's a sacred connection between the artist and the person who appreciates what you do - it's beyond words how meaningful that is. But I'm not going to stifle myself from trying new things because I feel like people that are already into my stuff might not like it.

I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the ball had enough to get out. It's an absolutely incredible feeling. I can honestly say I did it.

What he (Sammy Sosa) and I have been doing is fantastic. What we've done nobody in the game has done for thirty-seven years. I'm pretty happy with the way things have been going.

Sammy Sosa's a September player, so you have to watch out for him. It's crunch time, time to make history.
