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.

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

I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.

My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.

You have to fix something when it first appears.

I have one goal with all my decision: to do whatever is needed to win today's game. I'm loyal to my players, and I stick with people because consistency builds confidence. But if I feel I have to make a change in order to win, I'll do it. I don't ask players to like my decisions, only to accept that I'm doing my job with one thing in mind - winning.

I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.
