A million years went by quick.

It was just one of those moments in the universe that was mine.

People in New England think that the Red Sox won that series, three games to four.

It's not what you achieve, it's what you overcome. That's what defines your career.

The '70s were a time of turmoil and turnover. But I grew up here. I always wanted to play here.

If the human body recognized agony and frustration, people would never run marathons, have babies, or play baseball.

But there was also a little of that thing they say about New Englanders: Being from here doesn't prevent me from doing anything, it just prevents me from enjoying it.

And then after that, running around the bases, it was just one of those things. You couldn't believe what happened to you. And I look back on it, it's almost like it happened to somebody else.

I knew it was gonna go out. It was just a question of it being fair or foul. The wind must have carried it 15 feet toward the foul pole. I just stood there and watched. I didn't want to miss seeing it go out.

But this is the point I want to make: When you talk about steroids and you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run hitters of all time-Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, right? When they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged? The three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs at age 39. Now, how many home runs did Barry Bonds hit when he was 39? He hit 73!
