Today was the first time. I've never had this before, so it's a new thing for me,
No player should have to go through what I have been dealing with, and I am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get justice, but that players' contracts and rights are protected through the next round of bargaining.
I like to score and drive in runs more than pay attention to batting average.
I only look forward. I can't get all caught up in what I've done. I still have plenty to accomplish in the game. Hopefully, I'm just scratching the surface.
I want to be the best, and the best work. You have to earn what you get, and you have to work to keep it.
I’m fighting for my life, I have to defend myself. If I don’t defend myself, no one else will.
You can take my cars or my house, just don't mess with my clothes.
I think it's just getting comfortable in New York City, comfortable in your own skin.
We (Derek Jeter and I) always talk about getting old, gray, and fat when our careers are over and just having a good time. He's like me. He wants to have a good time and be a good person. It's a weird situation for us. It's just like we're looking in the mirror. the only difference is I'm on the West Coast and he's on the East Coast.
We (Derek Jeter and I) want to kill each other. I think we both drive each other and motivate each other. But, when we're off the field, we're like family. I think the nice thing about it is we became good friends before we even mad it to the big leagues. That makes it more of a healthy relationship.
Some things are meant to be and if it was, you will know it.
You must be present to win.
When you think small and up the middle, good things happen.
I believe a champion wins in his mind first, then plays the game, not the other way around.
