My God... What are the headlines going to be like on Monday if the Yankees don't make the playoffs?

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn't take any ability to hustle.

In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game of baseball.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.

The owner of the New York Yankees, Mr. George Steinbrenner who I had the greatest respect for, I want to thank him for giving me the opportunity to win that special ring in 1996.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.
