I'm Sure Glad This Isn't My Home

Once The Record Was Mine, I Had To Use It Like A Louisville Slugger. I Believed, And Still Do, That There Was A Reason Why I Was Chosen To Break The Record. I Feel It's My Task To Carry On Where Jackie Robinson Left Off, And I Only Know Of One Way To Go About It. It's The Only Way I've Ever Had Of Dealing With Things Like Fastballs And Bigotry -- Keep Swinging At Them.

I Don't Want People To Forget Babe Ruth. I Just Want Them To Remember Henry Aaron.

I Would Like People Not To Think In Terms Of The 755 Home Runs I Hit But Think In Terms Of What I've Accomplished Off The Field And Some Of The Things I Stood For.

I Never Smile When I Have A Bat In My Hands. That's When You've Got To Be Serious. When I Get Out On The Field, Nothing's A Joke To Me. I Don't Feel Like I Should Walk Around With A Smile On My Face.

I've Tried A Lot Of Things In The Off-season, But The Only Thing I Really Know Is Baseball.
