Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone.

I'm not here to discuss the past... I'm here to be positive.

Wouldn't it be great if we just ended up tied? I think it would be beautiful.

I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.

I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.

What a perfect way to end the home stand, by hitting sixty-two for the city of St. Louis and all the fans. I truly wanted to do it here and I did. Thank you St. Louis.

I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.

I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.
