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

I'd like to be remembered. I'd like to think that someday two guys will be talking in a bar and one of them will say something like, 'Yeah, he's a good shortstop, but he's not as good as ole Ripken was.'

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

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.

Sometimes I think sportsmanship is a little bit forgotten in place of the individual attention.

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

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