Winning is a lot of fun. I remember having a meeting a couple years ago and telling the guys: 'You're not enjoying yourselves.' O'Neill said to me afterwards, 'Skip, it's not fun unless you win.'
You don't catch the knuckleball, you defend against it.
I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.
I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.
