We consider ourselves the luckiest fans on the face of the Earth.

There is a feeling when you are in Yankee Stadium that it is a very sacred ground you are walking on and you know you had the same feelings that other great players have had in other eras that played right there on that field.

The best thing you can do in the whole world is to play baseball. That's a lucky job... The passion for baseball is always going to be there.

I was always compared to the Energizer Bunny in my consecutive game streak because every day I showed up and went to work and they said he keeps going and going and going, but a lot of people do that.

I love baseball. The game allowed me the influence to impact kids in a positive way. This gives me a chance to talk to some social issues.

I always thought being a gamer and someone who had a sense of responsibility to the game and to my teammates was the honorable thing.

You could be a kid for as long as you want when you play baseball.
