The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward.

I can see how people work out to feel better.

I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.

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.

One of the best things about being a Yankee is that you have guys like Whitey Ford, Phil Rizzuto, Ron Guidry and Reggie Jackson wandering around the locker room offering you advice.

If you're going to win games, you're going to have to come up with the big hits. That's the bottom line.

Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.
