I'm not a win at all costs guy. Winning isn't everything. It's second to breathing.

I was often misquoted. I was supportive of my managers, even though they all may not think so.

Second place is really the first loser.

Surround yourself with amazingly intelligent men and women. The people I work with not only are smarter than I am, possessing both intellectual and emotional intelligence, but also share my determination to succeed. I will not make an important decision without them.

I will never have a heart attack. I give them.

My best and worst boss was the same man - my father. He never - and I mean never - took 'I can't' for an answer. He taught me the value system that, to this day, I have continued to practice.

As I have said many times - my father was a great fan of Bill Dickey's and he certainly loved the Yankees. I hope that he would be pleased.
