I'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.

Playing the game was the easy part. The real work was in the preparation.

Balsamic vinaigrette, Tabasco, and giblets. Then let it boil.

I want to be the best, and the best work. You have to earn what you get, and you have to work to keep it.

I've never experienced- besides the birth of my two daughters-the feeling of winning a world championship in New York in the new stadium. It's something I'll never forget.

I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be gifted in everything.

I've learned in my career, it is much better to be recognized for all the great things you do on the field.
