It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

It doesn't seem like the season really gets under way until you have your home opener

I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.

If I'm shifted two steps toward third base and the ball goes up the middle, people say I have no range to my left. That's why those statistics aren't accurate. You're changing for every batter, sometimes with every pitch. You really can't make one statistic for every shortstop. You have to go by what you see.
