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.

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 streak has become my identity; it's who I've become.

As long as I can compete, I won't quit.

As long as I can compete, I won't quit. Reaching three-thousand is not the finish line as long as I can contribute.

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

Each and every day had its challenges.
