I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

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.

I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.

I want to own a team one day. You know, that's my next goal.

This is why you play - to get an opportunity to play in the playoffs.

In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.
