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.

A lot of pitchers today are afraid of the ball. Warren Spahn pinch-hit for me when I was a rookie. He hit a sacrifice fly. I couldn't argue. I was 20 years old and just happy to be in the big leagues. And Spahnnie was a good hitter.

I wish I could paint that picture. As a 20-year-old kid, that was a big thrill.

When we lost I couldn't sleep at night. When we win I can't sleep at night. But when you win, you wake up feeling better

It's nice to be in first place. But just because you're not on a winner doesn't mean you're a loser.

The second you think you've arrived, someone passes you. You have to always be in pursuit.

The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing.
