As a ballplayer, I would be delighted to do it again. As an individual, I doubt if I could possibly go through it again. I don't know if I want to go to New York. They'll have to pay me a lot more money because I like it here in Kansas City. I don't want to be Babe Ruth. He was a great ballplayer. I'm not trying to replace him. The record is there and damn right I want to break it, but that isn't replacing Babe Ruth. I feel that I was a good all-around player, I had good speed, a good arm and could play the outfield. I never wanted all this hoopla. All I wanted is to be a good ball player and hit twenty-five or thirty homers, drive in a hundred runs, hit .280 and help my club win pennants. I just wanted to be one of the guys, an average player having a good season. It would have been a helluva lot more fun if I had not hit those sixty-one home runs. It's a business. If I could make more money down in the zinc mines I'd be mining zinc. Maybe I'm not a great man but I damn well want to break the record. |
