What people might find surprising: I taught my wife to change diapers when we had our first.

My dad was the first one who said, 'You're going to end up behind the plate because you've got a very good arm and you're very smart when it comes to calling a game.'

I don't want to be gone. I don't want to be somewhere else. I consider myself a Yankee.

He pitches better when he's mad, so I try to make him that way.

There is only one Mariano Rivera. There wont be another person who will come along and do what he did. No one does it like him. It was an honor to catch him and play alongside him for as long as I did. He made my job as a catcher so much easier. Mariano is a special person and obviously a special player.

I'm very proud of my area around the plate. I don't want anyone messing with my dirt.

You can always look back on having a good defensive day, even if you didn't do anything offensively. You won the game and you contributed.
