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

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

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

I went to college for a reason, and that was to skip the minor leagues. I spent a year in the minors and got my at-bats in, and then I felt like I was ready for the big leagues.

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.

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

My greatest memories as a kid were playing sports with my dad and watching sports with my dad.
