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

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

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.

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

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.

You can't hit without your hands.
