The name Derek Jeter is made for stardom. He's got an infectious smile, and he's so handsome and well-behaved. He's just a fine young man who does everything right. He's like Jack Armstrong and Frank Merriwell, guys I grew up rooting for. Some guys come along who just measure up.

I haven't always made the right decisions.

I'll stick to building ships.

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.

I'm pretty excited, this is a big, big one.

We plan absentee ownership as far as running the Yankees is concerned.

It was the class and dignity which he led his life that made him part of all of us. I will forever treasure the close friendship we shared over the years.
