I love the game of baseball.

All players are their own worst critics. We are harder on ourselves than anyone else is.

I love the game of baseball.

That's basically what I'm doing when I'm tapping them - getting my toes to the end of my shoes.

You know it as soon as you walk in Yankee Stadium. The electricity is there every time, every day.

Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

One of my superstitions is I'm not allowed to talk about them.
