If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty.

When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than (Ty) Cobb.

You know what God told the Cubs? Don't do anything until I come back.

If baseball wants to get you, they've got enough resources and enough investigators that they'll find a way to get you.
