Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

I can have fun anywhere, as long as I'm with good people. But in the offseason, I like to go somewhere warm, a nice spot in the Caribbean.

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

In my opinion, I've had the greatest job in the world. I got a chance to be the shortstop for the New York Yankees, and there's only one of those. And I always felt as though it was my job, was to try to provide joy and entertainment for you guys, but it can't compare to what you brought me. So for that, thank you very much.

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
