You can keep going on and on about the interactions of people, which makes it a great drama and great event ,and you'll always hold that special, but if you're looking at a baseball moment, the feeling you get when you win the World Series by far exceeds anything else in the game that you're able to do.

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.

If you do a job, do it right or there is no point.

The reality is that players can't play forever.

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

Disadvantaged kids many times don't have the support network that we all have. I know how important my parents were in my life and many of these kids don't have that support network.

My approach to every game was to try to erase the games that were before and try to focus on the game at hand.
