:42:02
If you focused less on the record
would you hit better?
:42:05
Im not focusing on the record,

:42:09
Im gonna go hit.
:42:10
- Rog, I got a couple...
- Watch out, Artie!
:42:13
Jeez, man, I saved your life.
Look, fellas, all this is bullshit.
:42:17
If one of us has got 50
coming in the last month...
:42:20
...come talk to us then.
:42:22
"Maris insults the commissioner
by saying the Babe had it easier."
:42:25
I did not say the Babe had it easierl
:42:27
- You believe this shit?
- You gotta be careful.
:42:30
You'd think I was trying
to replace Jesus Christ.
:42:32
- Then don't read The Daily News.
- What?
:42:35
Look, in '56, I had 52 home runs.
That's all anybody could ever talk about.
:42:38
"Ruth this, Ruth that," 24 hours a day.
:42:41
We're chasin' a ghost, Rog.
You go in that clubhouse, he's there.
:42:44
At home plate, he's there.
In the outfield, he's there.
:42:47
The fat fuck, he's everywhere.
We're playing in his house.
:42:50
You got it worse.
You're playin' his position.
:42:52
Yeah, but this is ridiculous.
I don't give a damn about Ruth.
:42:56
You better. He's a god to these people.
:42:58
Screw it. Im just not gonna
do any more interviews.
:43:01
You can't do that.
Then they'll really come after you.
:43:03
- You gotta give 'em something.
- What am I supposed to give 'em?
:43:06
I don't know. Somethin' about yourself.
:43:09
I don't know if you noticed,
but you ain't that big a talker.
:43:13
I don't know what to talk about.
I don't know what Im supposed to say.
:43:17
I don't know, Rog...
:43:20
I been living with you most of the season
and I don't even know you.
:43:25
I was raised in Fargo.
I played baseball, basketball, football.
:43:30
I married my high-school sweetheart.
:43:32
Chose baseball, played in the minors...
:43:34
...came up with Cleveland,
traded to Kansas City, and then came here.
:43:38
- You're right, don't talk to 'em.
- Shit!
:43:46
A real pitcher's duel, here tonight.
:43:48
Game tied at 1,
here in the bottom of the sixth.
:43:50
Two outs, Richardson on third,
and here comes the big guy...
:43:53
...Roger Maris.
:43:54
Roger stepping in,
and they're playing him deep.
:43:57
Look at that,
the second baseman is on the grass.
