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.

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

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

Hideki Irabu had a very good curveball. Just a straight up and down, swing-and-miss curveball.

You gotta take care of yourself; you cant do anything in excess.

I could never wear another uniform. I will forever be a Yankee.

Some days are a blessing when you wake up and you say, 'Wow, I feel good today.' Some days are like: 'Wow, I feel bad. I got no chance today.' You tape it up and you go.
