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

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.

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

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.

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

I love the game of baseball.
