cramp felt good hurt kept maybe problems pull start stopped tried walking
I felt it cramp up on me. I tried to start over and regroup, but I just stopped before I hurt it more. I thought maybe I'd pull it if I kept going. Getting up and walking off myself was a good sign. I haven't had many problems with my legs.
ahead eyes hit took turned
I feel good. I wanted to go ahead and do everything, but the eyes were on me and told me not to. I just hit and took it easy, then did the running, which turned out OK.
body excellent loose swing
I feel excellent right now. My body is loose and my swing is where I want it to be.
baseball business family life played strictly teams yankees
I've played for teams that were family-oriented organizations. They made you feel like family. The Yankees are strictly a business. Baseball is your life and everything else is secondary.
cut
I tell myself every offseason I'm not going to say anything crazy. I'm just going to have a peaceful season... Can't do it. I'm cut from a different cloth.
belong check debated hall mentioned standpoint wants
I am sure it will be mentioned and debated but from my standpoint I know who is in the Hall of Fame. A lot of them don't belong in the Hall of Fame. If someone wants to debate me, check the stats.
chances means willing
When you challenge me, I like my chances in a fistfight. On the field, I use the same approach. I'm going to win. And I'll do it by any means necessary. If you're not willing to go that route, don't come my way.
american-athlete ask everybody gary money send trying wants
Well, everybody is trying to make this a money thing. If you send me to another team, let's see what I ask for. I won't ask for nothing. I'll play under the same terms. So it is not Gary wants more money. Gary has money. What else do I need?
couple trust
I don't trust that many people. Just my mother and my wife and a couple of friends. When I trust people, it doesn't end well.
american-athlete
The owners have the right to pay you whatever they want to. They don't have to pay you if they don't want to.
god knew time
I thought I knew there was a God. I always acknowledged that, but at the same time, I didn't live by those laws.
people truth
I'm not one of those people who have to try and remember what they told people, because I always tell the truth. That should count for something, right?
best played player poster white
I've been the best player on every team that I played on, so if I can't be the poster child of your team, then what else is it? It's got to be a black-white issue. Every white player I know who's the best player on their team is the poster child of that team.
bed coming good household inside kids morning realize responsibility setting since
If I'm coming in at 4:00 in the morning and my kids have been in bed since 8:00, 9:00, that's not setting a good example. The responsibility that I have kids inside my household has made me realize now that I have to be an example.
