I feel that I was a good all-around player, I had good speed, a good arm and could play the outfield.

I never wanted all this hoopla. All I wanted was to be a good ball player and hit twenty-five or thirty homers, drive in a hundred runs, hit .280 and help my club win pennants. I just wanted to be one of the guys, an average player having a good season.

As a ballplayer, I would be delighted to do it again. As an individual, I doubt if I could possibly go through it again.

I don't want to be Babe Ruth. He was a great ballplayer. I'm not trying to replace him. The record is there and damn right I want to break it, but that isn't replacing Babe Ruth.
