I didn't bring you here to be just one of the guys.
Joe and I had a great meeting yesterday. We both look forward to bringing a championship back to New York and our great fans.
In acquiring Alex Rodriguez, we are bringing to New York one of the premier players in the history of the game,
I am very happy that Brian will continue as general manager. Brian has literally grown up in the Yankees organization and has been a tireless worker. He is very knowledgeable about the game and the business of baseball and is extremely loyal. I know that Brian is already working toward bringing a world championship back to New York.
We're going to win it this year. We're going after it.
Billy Connors was just great. He brought Jaret Wright along great, was patient and he stuck to him with great success.

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.
turn my back on someone who has failed and is doing everything possible to turn his life around.
Yes, very impatient. Get out of my way.
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.
We want Brian to return if we can get him.
Brian is the boss of that. It's up to Brian. We'll see what Brian does. It's in his hands.
I don't know about why they left the left-hander in. He had a good inning and they kept him in there. He should never have pitched to Konerko - he's their best hitter. I'm not pleased with the manager.
