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

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

A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.

Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don't belong there.

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.

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.

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.
