I had to will my way through that game. Sometimes, it takes more than talent or more than a 95-mile-an-hour fastball. You have to will it.

He's (George Steinbrenner) the one who gave me a chance to get to the World Series. This is where I wanted to be all along. We had a couple of nice offers from other teams, but I tied my agents' hands. I told them I wanted to be a Yankee.

You know in 1982, the year we came in tied for 3rd, we probably had a better team - I mean as far as talent. When we came back the following year and won it, our pitching staff was a little more experienced and it was such a thrill.

Even though I play a professional sport now, I love college baseball

My only day off is the day I pitch (in regards to how hard he works out during off-days).

When you have a chance to take the ball for the world champs, you take the ball.

He hit the ball so hard, I couldn't even turn around in time to see it go over the fence.
