Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

Anybody who can't hear the difference between a ball hitting wood and a ball hitting concrete must be blind.

Swing at the strikes.

If you don't set goals, you'll never reach them. Or like they say in golf, if you aim for nothing, you'll hit it every time. Take any player in the major leagues: I'd say just about everyone of them had a dream - a goal - to be a big-leaguer when they were kids. It wasn't an easy goal, but it was a reachable one, and that's important.

If you can't imitate him, don't copy him.

I've been with the Yankees 17 years, watching games and learning. You can see a lot by observing.

Life is a learning experience, only if you learn.
