People put so much expectations for you before you even do it. I think it's not fair, ... When you hit 40, they want you to hit 50. When you hit 50, they want you to hit 60.
It's a good thing. A lot of people don't get a chance to hit that many home runs. On the other side, I really don't enjoy it that much because with the loss, I was telling everybody that I wish I could have hit a home run when we were winning.
It's a good accomplishment. A lot of people didn't get a chance at that young age to hit 300 home runs. It's a good feeling. But I wish I could have hit it when we won. My goal is to win. Stats are stats.
Some people like to put up numbers. I play to win. I didn't know how many homers I had near the end of the season, but we played Washington and they always talk junk, so I started looking at the scoreboard and that got me going.
I want to be more consistent. I wanna get hits. I wanna get my average back up where people think I can hit.
People think the leadoff spot is a big deal. I tell people you're going to lead off the first inning, and after that, you can be a No. 4 hitter or No. 3 hitter.
I know they've been saying a lot of stuff about a lot of people using illegal products to make themselves feel strong, but the game is still the same. All the guys still look strong, and there's no doubt in my mind they can still hit home runs, 50, 40 home runs.
