The key to beating the Dodgers is to keep them form hugging each other too much.

When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a baseball player and also join the circus. With the Yankees, I've accomplished both.

Some kids dream of joining the circus, others of becoming a major league baseball player. I have been doubly blessed. As a member of the New York Yankees, I have gotten to do both.

People recognize me wherever I go, where it used to be just New York. I guess people who aren't even baseball fans watch the World Series. I was driving down the freeway in Los Angeles over the winter and a guy pulled up next to me and gave me the finger.

I always wanted to play baseball and join the circus. Now I have both.
