Bill Connors did a wonderful job with Jaret Wright. He brought him along. He was patient, and he stuck with him with great results. What a pro.
We want Brian to return if we can get him.
We're going to win it this year. We're going after it.
The whole coaching staff is the responsibility of Joe Torre.
It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk.
They're a good team. They are not going to lose 100 games.
It's a lot of time, but he's a good player. He'll be all right.
It makes me feel very good. It really does. He's a good man. I like him. I understand him. I understand what he's after. I'm very happy to have him.
It's an incredible achievement, particularly when I remember that when I bought the Yankees, we had trouble drawing 1 million to the stadium. We have the greatest fans in the world.
It was indeed the right thing to do.
There will be some more back-outs. Whether it's our players or somebody else's, I don't know.
I've never seen an athlete dominate any sport -- in baseball, in basketball, in football -- like he dominated this series.
Undoubtedly, you will be very successful regardless of the career path you choose. But just in case you choose major league baseball, I'll be keeping the first base position open for you.
Joe is a good man. I wish him luck and hope he does well.
