He's a good man, capable, a very caring person. He puts a lot of energy into his work.
He is very knowledgeable about the game and the business of baseball, and is extremely loyal.
Joe is a good man. I wish him luck and hope he does well.
Joe and I had a great meeting yesterday. We both look forward to bringing a championship back to New York and our great fans.
He treated Dwight like a son. I know it pains him. He has nothing but hope for that kid.
He has the right to do what he wants to do. That's a long time but he's a good player, though. He'll be all right.
He looks like a Yankee, he sounds like a Yankee and he is a Yankee.
We're going to honor him and welcome him. We're going to give him a New York Yankees welcome.
When he gets with the team here, it will be fine. Count on A-Rod.
We applaud the Red Sox for decisively dealing with this matter.
Mel Stottlemyre will always be a Yankee. . . . While it is no secret I can be a very difficult boss, Mel has always conducted himself as a professional and a gentleman. I wish he and Jean much success and happiness in the future.
He's a nice kid, but he just can't hit in the clutch.
In the end, I'll put my good acts up against those of anybody in this country. Anybody.
Ruth was probably the greatest athlete to perform in any sport. Never has there been anybody like him.
