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

I've been very fortunate to play for four great organizations, but New York really takes the cake. Wearing the pinstripes is something that's very special to me, and it's the greatest organization in sports history.

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.

I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.

Being from Baltimore, I'm a crab cake snob, and I'm very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.

I really expect a lot of myself.

It's just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.
