Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.

Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

I just don't like to dwell on stuff.

My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.

When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.

You could have the bases loaded, and you bring up the best pinch-hitter in the world to pinch hit, he hits into a double play, and then all of a sudden: 'How could you do that?'

My relationship with George Steinbrenner was great. He was the boss, and I accepted that.

Golf is the only game I know where you call a foul on yourself.

You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'

Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.

If a club is winning, you never pay attention to a guy who's 0-for-10. If a club is losing, all of a sudden you'll find that he's the main reason why you're losing, which is absurd for me.

'Million Dollar Arm' touches on many of the Safe At Home Foundation's core values, such as children, teamwork and family.

As a supporter of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and their Home Run Challenge program, I am extremely grateful for the valuable partnerships and relationships built with Major League Baseball and our affiliates.

Jerry Coleman was the kind of player who made me proud to wear the pinstripes.

Major league baseball is about the history of the game. Baseball history is so important. It's so much more than money.

We've beat up our umpires. They're now allowed to be human.

In regards to steroids, I think we're all to blame, all of baseball. I never realized how far-reaching this problem has been.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.

I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.

I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.
