You can't get more appreciation than that, to be elected by the fans. That's the ultimate, really.
There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times. Just think. If he walks 60 times, he might hit 100 homers.
I don't even take aspirin.
For me to become the highest paid player in the franchise, it was something I didn't anticipate. But I'm glad. I like playing for Cincinnati.
Everyone would like to play in their hometown, but right now I like Cincinnati, I like the way it's going. I'm happy.
Baseball is not what I love. It's my job.
When you get back on the field and do things, any doubts you've developed leave. The more consistent you become, the fewer doubts you have.
I'll have a stamp on me forever. There will always be questions. I brought new fans to the Orioles' organization, and that's good.
Most of the places I've been, I've been a main piece of the puzzle.
I will be a role model for cancer patients for the rest of my life. But you know what? When I was getting chemo, those people inspired me.
I don't listen to what people say about me and I don't read what they write about me. People can compare me to anyone they want to, but I'm not going to worry about it.
I don't want to be famous. I want to be secure. I don't want the world. I just want a piece of it. I want people to remember Eric Davis.
It's easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they're saying that they don't respect you. You have to change their thinking.
I've been operated on 13 times.
I'm no different than others with cancer. I just happen to play professional baseball. I'm part of those statistics that cancer has touched as well.
I want to establish myself as the first Eric Davis, not the next Willie Mays.
Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy.
My only goal is to play 162 games and help this team win. If I can do that, everything will take care of itself.
You don't protect Mark McGwire. The only way to protect him is hit 70 homers yourself.
You can't shelter it. You can't hide it. You have to let people know what you're going through, what you're feeling, what you think you have that's a problem.
Socially, it is funny. People are annoyed because, really who is a clown?.
I was disappointed in everything - my start and the team's start. People got down on me, but I never got down on myself. I still believed I could be the type of player everyone, including me, thought I was going to be.
People always ask me how I can hit the ball so far, and I say, 'I just swing.' It's the coaches who first told me I had good bat speed. I was just swinging, and I guess it was fast. I'm pretty fast at everything.
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
Life is too short to worry about anything
