I met Tiger Woods, and I looked in his eyes - and I saw Derek Jeter. They don't have to tell people they're good. They just prove it by the way they love the competition.

I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.

I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.

You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'

I've seen that picture before. It was a two-seamer that didn't sink until it hit the upper deck somewhere.

Baseball is a game of life. It's not perfect, but it feels like it is.

I won't be managing the Mets. I am closing the door on managing the Mets and probably everybody else.
