"I have played professional baseball for over half my life. From the time I picked up a baseball glove, I did not want to put it down."
I remember just being attracted to the music. When I had the opportunity to pick up a guitar, it was like it was inside of me. It was a challenge to learn how to play it. I didn't want to stop."
"I know there's certain things regarding your job or whatever you may end up doing [that you don't like], but I'm here to tell you, don't let your job define who you are. Your relationships will define who you are. No matter what you choose to do in life ... you are going to be in a position to make an impact on somebody's life."
"My experience over 17 years playing with the Yankees, these are a few of the things that I've learned. You've got to have a plan of action, You have to stay focused on the things you can control, and don't get discouraged or distracted by the things you cannot control."
"My job is to make myself available to play to the best of my ability. Mentally, I've got to stay ready to play every day."
"One thing I've got going for me is I'm a baseball player playing a guitar. I'm not a renowned jazz guitarist. There should be people who are just happy to see me up there playing."
"Very exciting. But I think this team has been very good on putting personal goals aside for the benefit of the team, and I think this should be no different. I think my goal right now is just to play as good as I can so we can win the Series. This is a nice note, but still, we're looking at the big picture here."
"With this club, it doesn't matter where you hit. You're going to have people on base, one through nine."
