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.

Not that managing in the American League is easy, but this is certainly different. I'll have to have somebody poke me in the rear end when I have a pitcher that's going to hit.

...in my book success and winning are not always the same thing. To me, success is playing - or working - to the best of your ability.

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

You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.

Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.

I have great confidence in Rick Caruso's unique qualifications and his ability to lead a successful bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
