He's the leader on this team, I know when Baltimore let us have him, they thought they were giving us a problem. I'll take problems like that anytime.
Owning the Yankees is like owning the Mona Lisa.
I haven't always done a good job, and I haven't always been successful - but I know that I have tried.
Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.
I'll go on the record and predict somebody's going to get hurt badly in this damn thing. Somebody's going to get hurt and hurt some team. Baseball didn't need this. It's disrupting spring training.
I'm proud of them, and delighted for our fans who stuck with us through this tough, exciting season. But this is only the first step toward our goal, a championship.
I hope we do well. Everything pleased me. It's all in the manager's hands.
I'm very happy for him. He's gone through a lot. He's proving he's a winner, and I'm proud of Jason Giambi.
I'm used to spring training being about the World Series.
I'm happy to have him in the fold. He's a gem.
I'm happy to have him in our clubhouse.
I'm concerned that they've got to get their bats going. They've got to get it together and get playing.
not pleased with the manager. I don't know why he left him in.
A-Rod demonstrates the talent, hard work, and dedication of a true winner. I look forward to great things for many years from A-Rod as a Yankee.
