I'm a baseball player. Not being able to play baseball certainly was a lonely thing.

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

It's not like you can aim for a home run and hit a home run.

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.

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.

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