I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.

The reason I play so hard is that somewhere out there is some kid who has never seen me play before, and I don't want to disappoint him.

The test of an outfielder's skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.

Motivation is something nobody else can give you. Others can help motivate you, but basically it must come from you and it must be a constant desire to do your very best at all times and under any circumstances.

It's great to be young and be a Yankee!
