It's important to find a team where you can be comfortable. I know there are a lot of high expectatons.

The power of home run hitters in the majors is different from those here. It's probably difficult for me to match that power now.

I love New York, I love the Yankees, I love the fans here.

My first and foremost goal when I joined the Yankees was to win the world championship. Certainly it's been a long road and very difficult journey. But I'm just happy that after all these years we were able to win and reach the goal that I had come here for.

I'm aware the fans in the U.S. can be less forgiving...I'll just have to do my best to please them.

I've been watching American baseball on television for a long time, but it was only in recent years that, realistically, I've been thinking about playing here.
