I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.

I know it's tough. Everybody in baseball knows its tough. I'm just going to give it my best shot.

Somebody gets into September with fifty, they have a shot down the stretch to either tie, break or get close to the record.

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.
