Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone.

I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.

I'm sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids.

I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.

It is a great feeling to complete this milestone. I would like to dedicate it to all the players I have played with, the fielders who took the catches, bowlers who kept the pressure from the other end and batsmen who put big totals on board.

I wouldn't call it a special milestone. It's nice, but it's kind of what I expect of myself. Once you get it, you want to get more.
