Guess My Weight and Win a Sawdust-Filled Bear.
When you've got the excitement I've created -- my home runs are a lottery ticket -- then you've got a city that's excited, ... If you win, you're going to create excitement, but you've got to win games. You can't not win and expect people to come to baseball games.
As it is every season, my main goal and main focus is for our team to win a championship. I need to be in the best physical shape for the 2006 season -- in what could possibly be my last season.
I never chased Hank to begin with. I just want to win championships. That's all I want to do. That's the only thing I'm playing for, the only thing that's keeping me going.
I just want to win a championship. I'm playing to win a championship. That's the only thing that keeps me going. ... The only thing keeping me in the game of baseball right now is trying to win a championship for the team, trying to win a championship with a bunch of guys.
I just want to get in the best shape I can, and be able to go out there and help this team win a division, ... We've still got time and I think we've still got a chance, and I want to do it. I want to be a part of it. Even if it's a short amount of time, I want to be a part of it.
It's good when you win. It just makes it a little more gratifying, that's all it does, ... I can hit a baseball. I've never had any problems doing that. I'm trying to do it when we win games.
I'll take a 2-for-the-rest-of-the-season as long as we win the World Series. I have not swung the bat well in the past and the team has won games. There are times you're going to be a big part of it and times you're not going to be part of it. ... It's just fun to win. I'll be fine.
