I think baseball has moved on in many ways and the focus on the competitions on the field is really what the game is all about. It seems to be healthy. It seems more people are watching it.

By far, the best moment of my big league career was when I caught the last out at the World Series.

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.

The last thing you want to do is go down in the history of All-Star game competition as the only injury (his nose was broken by Roberto Hernandez) sustained during the team picture.

There are so many great moments in Yankee Stadium. There is nothing better or no better place better to compete when you are good and the Yankees are good and you are playing a big series in September in Yankee Stadium, four game series, there is no greater excitement anywhere than the Yankee Stadium.

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

Get in the game. Do the best you can. Try to make a contribution. Learn from today. Apply it to tomorrow.
