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

I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

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.

The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.

We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.

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.
