I'm relaxed at the plate. I'm not trying to do too much.

What we really need is for me to get hot and stay hot. When I go, this team really takes off.

I want to be the best leadoff hitter of our time.

I feel like I've been a Yankee my whole life.

People need to look at baseball like it has been sent from the heavens, and respect the game.

I hope others take as much pride in the sport as I do.

I play every game like it's going to be my last.
