Don't be afraid to take risks. Make the most of your journey. Make it fun and exciting.

I had a good run here, fifteen years. That's a great run. I'm not saying that I'm done in center field - if I could play there forever, I would. But I know that's not reality, so I'm happy.

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.

yankees years action
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.

Today is a day to reflect upon our season. The day will come when I will have to make a decision, but that isn't today.

I didn't want to retire until I had no doubt in my mind it was what I wanted to do. I feel good enough to still play.

I'd love to play those guys. I was just having some fun with Alex, but, yeah, let's go. If we play these guys, I've got a good scouting report on them.

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.

I was feeling loose and relaxed, took some good jumps on balls. I was able to make a catch and throw somebody out, which I was very pumped about.

My future is going to be determined in a great way on how we finish this year. So I've got to take care of the present now, and hopefully the future will take care of itself.
