In the end of the day, I feel pretty good about the contributions you can make.

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 think Nick Markakis is a perennial All-Star, and nobody knows about him. I think people are learning about how good he is.

Stubbornness usually is considered a negative; but I think that trait has been a positive for me.

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.

I think the cloud of suspicion has been hanging over baseball for a while. I think there has been some positive things that have come out of that. There has been a drug test policy that was been implemented that got the blessings of both the Players Association and MLB. They are trying to maintain the integrity of this sport and trying to get it back, but that cloud I think will hang over a little longer.

I don't love the idea of the responsibility falling on the manager. That just adds to their in-game responsibility.
