The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.

There's responsibility, but there's also accountability. You have to be accountable for your actions. You have to stand at your locker when things are going bad.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.

I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.

So many people are insanely busy nowadays, and it's easy to say, 'Ah, I'll workout tomorrow.' But you have to set aside a time and stick to that schedule.

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

Nine games? It's too long.
