Whenever someone has the ability to impact people's lives, I think that's one of the greatest things that God gives us as individuals.

I wanted to play for the New York Yankees. That was the bottom line. I wanted to be there and play in that new stadium.

I'm not a negative-minded person. But maybe to keep me humble, I look more at my bad games in big situations than good ones.

I count it an honor to play with some guys that I've watched play on television, and may be in the Hall of Fame some day.

You know how you just don't like guys on the other team sometimes? It's funny because growing up I loved Roger (Clemens), loved to watch Roger pitch. Then when I was first in the big leagues and he was for the other team, I hated him.

It kills me when I make a bad pitch...I want to be perfect out there.

It only took me 21 runs and five years to get a win here.
