I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

Sportswriters are what make sports great and fun to watch.

I play in New York, man. Criticism is part of the game. You take criticism as a challenge.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

I always try to take from past performances. You never try to get too high or too low. Just play every game, just treat every game like it's the same.
