Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.

I'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!

I'm not one of those crazy collectors - I don't have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we're on the road and I'm wearing a nice suit.

I've always felt that I need to be somebody in the middle of the lineup that's going to drive in runs and come up with big hits.

I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That's all I need.

I don't play baseball first. I put Christ first in my life. I put my family behind Him and I put baseball down the line. I obviously want to succeed. I want to do well. I want to perform. But at the same time, I'm at peace that no matter what happens on this earth, the more important part is being a Christian, and being in the Kingdom of Heaven when it's all said and done.

God has forgiven everything that I've ever done. If someone does something to hurt my family or me, I can always forgive them. It keeps hate and anger out of my heart.
