If you do the best you can, you never have to look back.

I've been very, very fortunate. I never had to work for a living.

To wind up in Cooperstown is surreal for me. To go into the Hall of Fame is one thing. When you think of all the other Yankees that are in here, it's pretty special. This is just a shrine. To visit it, much less be inducted, it's still sort of unbelievable to me.

I never concerned myself with other people's decisions.

I don't have a great deal of stress job-wise in my life, and that feels good.

Whatever sport you're looking at, it's usually the team that makes the least mistakes that has the most success.

I've enjoyed my time in the American League, the fans of Southern California and other friendships.

Scott Boras, I've known for a long time. We were both in the Cardinals organization. I'm a lot older than Scott. He's a very tough man, very tough agent.

Sometimes they say the world rotates a little different for lefthanders.

There's only one New York.

People are proud of their players.

Home-plate collisions are something you cannot ignore.
