David Cone is in a class by himself with three or four other players.

He's the leader on this team, I know when Baltimore let us have him, they thought they were giving us a problem. I'll take problems like that anytime.

Let's not talk punishment.

From 1973 to 1982 I ate the exact same lunch everyday . Turkey chili in a bowl made out of bread . Bread bowl George. First you eat the chili then you eat the bowl . There's nothing more satisfying than looking down after lunch and seeing nothing but a table.

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

He says all the right things, like it's Jeter's team. I want to correct him on that - it's my team.

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