Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

We can learn from past failures and mistakes, but we shouldn't get stuck there. We can keep future goals in mind, but we shouldn't get stuck there, either. The only way to reach our potential is to focus on what we must do now - this moment, this day - to perform effectively and win.

I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.

After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.

It just feels good to beat the world champs to be the world champs.

People are proud of their players.
