Owning the Yankees is like owning the Mona Lisa.

When you're entrusted with a tradition, you've got to protect it.

Irabu is a fat, pus-y toad.

I don't think that anybody should be suspended for life for anything, other than murder. How is it helping someone to say, 'You're done forever, your life's over'?

I haven't always made the right decisions.

Once in a while, I played second base; once in a while, outfield. But those were just pickup games and softball leagues. So when I bought the Yankees, I tried to stay one pace ahead of the players.

I'll stick to building ships.
