I'm never satisfied. I can't stand satisifaction. To me, greatness comes from that quest for perfection.

HOF 1995
I'd hit 35 homers and drive in 110 runs and I'd be an MVP candidate. With those numbers today, I'd bat eighth. When I'm 70, 80 years old, I'm going to be ashamed to admit I'm in that pitiful, little 500-home run club when there are 30 guys in the 800-home run club.

You're trying your damndest, you strike out and they boo you. I act like it doesn't bother me, like I don't hear anything the fans say, but the truth is I hear every word of it and it kills me.

HOF 1995
You've got these smaller ballparks. Give me four more Wrigley Fields to hit in when I played and see what kind of numbers I would have put up. How many of the balls that I hit to the warning track would've been in six rows deep at Coors Field? At my peak I probably averaged about 38 homers a season. If I played today I'd probably average about 53. So if you weigh one of my old homers it might be equal to about 1.4 of today's.
