My inspiration was the game itself, not any individual player in it.

If it was in my control, Id still be wearing a Red Sox uniform, because its the place I know, I love. All of those fans, Ill always remember. But Im also going to another great place. Im going to a phenomenal city with great tradition as well, phenomenal fans, great organization.

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

When I go home my mother still makes me take out the garbage.

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

People are going to make comparisons and they can do that but I'm definitely not going to compare myself to Derek Jeter.

People ask me if my shoes were too small when I was a kid and I say it wouldnt matter how fight my shoes were, I just liked that feeling of them being in there. Thats how I started tapping my toes.
