As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because you either loved them or you hated them.

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

Watching other teams in the World Series is like watching somebody else eat a Hot Fudge Sundae.

When I was coming home from school as a youngster, and I saw my dad's car in the driveway, I would go to a friend's house. I connected my dad being there with fear.

It's not easy to just say you don't want to do something any more.

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.

Years ago, you never concerned yourself with pitch counts. Now, with statistics telling you that between this number and that number bad things happen to this particular pitcher, you have to pay attention to it. The bullpen has become a huge part of what happens now.
