I don't think there's any player that's more talented than Alex Rodriguez. He cares very deeply about doing well. Baseball is his life. He puts a lot of pressure on himself.

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

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

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It's about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people, and heart. Winning is the result.

It's all about makeup.

Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times.
