I didn't even think of that correlation until some of the media outlets brought up that my home run was the last time someone had done that,'' Henderson said from his home in suburban Seattle.

Can't we talk about anything other than the home run? ... It's getting old. I'm bored. It's a new day. If this were Game 7 of the World Series, I guess I'd be more excited.

St. Louis is still a special place for me. I still have my home there. I live there in the offseason. I enjoyed playing in front of 40,000 people every day. I tried to do my best to help the organization win. I had success there. We won two World Series. We went to three. That's something you can't take from me.

My wife and I love children. We have five of our own. I would ask that anyone who looks up to me would instead look up to God. I am nothing without Him. Everything I do in life and in baseball is to glorify Him.

Whatever happens at the end of the day, as long as I glorify His name, that's what it's all about.

Preparation is very important. The pitcher is going to do his job and prepare for you, so you as a hitter must do the same. I always watch videotape of pitchers before the game and even sometimes during.
