Barry was a dear friend, a valued partner for many years and a decent, genuine person. What a great baseball fan he was. I'll miss him dearly.
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.
Our team played hard, but we let our fans down. We will do better.
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.
I congratulate the Angels, and their manager, on the great job they've done, ... Our team played hard but we let our fans down. Our fans are the greatest in the world and I want to thank them for their amazing support throughout the season. We will do better.
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.
We're going to win it this year. We're going after it.
I've never seen an athlete dominate any sport -- in baseball, in basketball, in football -- like he dominated this series.
There will be some more back-outs. Whether it's our players or somebody else's, I don't know.
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.
Billy Connors was just great. He brought Jaret Wright along great, was patient and he stuck to him with great success.
