The Triple Is The Most Exciting Play

I'm Hoping Someday That Some Kid, Black Or White, Will Hit More Home Runs Than Myself. Whoever It Is, I'd Be Pulling For Him.

I Had Many, Many, Many Death Threats. I Couldn't Open Letters For A Long Time, Because They All Had To Be Opened By Either The Fbi Or Somebody.

The Way I See It, It's A Great Thing To Be The Man Who Hit The Most Home Runs, But It's A Greater Thing To Be The Man Who Did The Most With The Home Runs He Hit. So As Long As There's A Chance That Maybe I Can Hammer Out A Little Justice Now And Then, Or A Little Opportunity Here And There, I Intend To Do As I Always Have -- Keep Swinging.

You Know What The Hardest Thing Is? What Nobody Wants To Understand -- Is Me. People Want Their Memories Of Me To Be My Memories Of Me. But You Know What? They're Not.

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.
