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 take pride in the fact that you are able to make some good contributions to the sport at certain times.

All I really try and do is live up to my potential and do as well as I possibly could and to bring to the ballpark each and every day a good effort and do the best that I could each and every day.

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.

Early in my career, I decided I never wanted to get out of shape.

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