I love being a Yankee, and it's hard not to. It's a special place to play.

There's no question that I love playing in Texas. I love the fans. I love everything about Texas.

To be able to play baseball for those nine innings in front of a major league crowd is a special privilege.

My closet is in perfect order at home. All my dress shirts, all my casual shirts. All my suits, they're color coordinated. All my ties are color coordinated.

My biggest thing is I need to see a lot of pitches, which I did today. That's good. The more pitches you see, the better your timing is going to be. But it's going to be impossible to see enough pitches. No matter how many pitches you see, it's still going to be March 6.

My goal was to go to college and come out the best player.

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.
