I've been very, very fortunate. I never had to work for a living.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

When I was a teenager and my brother Frank was in the World Series in '57 and '58 against the Yankees, Braves winning in '57 and the Yankees in '58, little did I know the next time these two teams would meet in the World Series, I would be managing the Yankees.

I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.

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

Kids are much more intuitive these days. Not that I'm crazy about what's on TV, but they know so much these days.

I do love the feeling of a big win. But you don't have to have a World Series ring to be a winner. A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished. Being able to get the most from their ability. That's what characterizes a winner.
