The other deals with my life and my livelihood and my family and all that I stand for.

I wish that they had the freedoms like the Japanese and the Koreans and the Mexicans and everybody else that has that freedom to come over here and play the game, because I know Cuba has a very strong baseball history.

I hope that people look at my whole career and appreciate that I've given everything that I've got.

I don't know who took what. That is pretty private with an individual.

I said what I said before Congress because I meant every word of it.

I don't think that - you know, I'm sure that there's guys that are doing it, because I'm sure in every sport there's players who want to get the edge. But I think that it's been blown overly - way more than guys are using it in our game.

I don't see myself as someone that brings a lot of luggage.

But as far as I'm concerned, I can still play defense.

Well, you know, I left Cuba as a kid when I was 6 years old back in 1971.

Baseball gets better for whatever reason.

When I testified in front of Congress, I know that I was testifying under oath and I told the truth.

I hope that people learn from my mistake and I hope that the fans forgive me.

Yes, but I - you know, it's been such a long time, I'm sure that I've got cousins and uncles that I've never met before, you know, that I've left behind.

You set your goals to a point where they're attainable, but far enough away that you have to really go get them. And every year I push my goals a little bit farther away, and every year I work a little bit harder to get them.

I would love to go back and help rebuild that country and help - you know, kind of like what's going on with Iraq right now. You know, they've got a new government in place. They're trying to rebuild the country. I would love for that to happen in Cuba also.

With all the great products that are apparently out there that are undetectable, for me to take something like that... when people take things that now aren't even being tested for, does it make any sense?

Three thousand, it's just a number. It's just a game.

I don't think anybody ever saw anybody taking anything.

But I think mainly, you know, just up in the East Coast, it's where it all originated. You know, Philadelphia. It goes back to the beginning. So, you know, fans have a lot of history, and they love their teams up here.

You know, when you first come up, and you get called up to the big leagues, all you want to do is just, you just want to have a career, a nice career. You want to make a living at it.

My parents didn't agree with what was going on, you know, with the communists coming in, Fidel Castro. I didn't see the reason why I needed to go back there and be a part of that exhibition.

You know, my family stood for something that they believed in, and I wasn't about to turn my back on them.

To snap my fingers and let it go away. Even if it takes the 3,000th hit with it, just let it all go away.

I love baseball, and the door remains open.

The other deals with my life and my livelihood and my family and all that I stand for.

They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion.

I'm not sure. I did not set it up. I have never done a polygraph test in my life. I didn't know what to expect. I was just there to answer the questions that they put in front of me.

I still feel like I can play defense at first base at a very high level.

You just want to be able to have a nice career and make a living at it.

There's a lot of history in Boston and a lot of history, obviously, in New York with all the championships.

I'm very happy for the Contreras family. They're out. Now they've got a chance to experience life the way I did as a kid. You know, his kids are going to have a real chance in life now, and the same way that I had it.

I have never used steroids. Period.

I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game.

The tragedy of all of this is that it happened to me and it shouldn't have happened. It ruined my life and my career. That's the tragedy of this.

It was a hard time. It was something I would love to erase from my memory.

I wish that they could have more freedoms to be able to come and play. I know that the only way that they can get out is by, you know, defecting to another country or whatever, or getting on a boat.

My life was on the line here and my career and everything I worked for, it was hanging by a thread.

I'm not going to say what was being used in the clubhouse; whatever happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse. But it was not like it was in your face.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they'll offer at the negotiating table. There's also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.

We've been able to access deals that under our former relationship with Disney - with tax advantages and strategic partners - that we just weren't able to do.

I've never had a penny through oil deals and no one has produced a shred of evidence that I have.

Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing, and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life.

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

I don't have the fire in the belly right now. It's one of those been there, done that deals.

And that movie was underrated - Nuts - because it deals with a terrible subject, but It's very well done.

Others like City Hall the old way, when they could make deals behind closed doors with your tax money.

Business is not just doing deals; business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.

To the person that deals in visualizations, I suppose there is something rather exciting about a whole set of people - they all going symmetrically, up or down, in a military sort of precision.
