Let's not talk punishment.
Is it in the best interest of baseball to sell beer in the ninth inning? Probably not. The rule has got to be more clearly defined. And then some process should be set up where the judge is not also the appeals judge.
If you haven't got a hernia yet, you ain't pulling your share.
I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball.
I am tough. Sometimes I'm unreasonable. I have to catch myself every once in a while.
I was often misquoted. I was supportive of my managers, even though they all may not think so.
I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.
Winning was everything. I don’t care what they tell you.
Once in a while, I played second base; once in a while, outfield. But those were just pickup games and softball leagues. So when I bought the Yankees, I tried to stay one pace ahead of the players.
We plan absentee ownership as far as running the Yankees is concerned.
As I have said many times - my father was a great fan of Bill Dickey's and he certainly loved the Yankees. I hope that he would be pleased.
You shouldn't have any betting in the locker room at all, whether it's baseball or it's horses. You can't beat the horses. You can't beat any kind of gambling because they have the odds.
We are the New York Yankees
Breathing first, winning next.
