Jonathan, I couldn't be more proud of you. I agree with you when you said, 'The New York Yankees are important to me, but my school is more important.' You're absolutely right and it takes quite a man to give up his personal dream for a higher purpose.
Jonathan, I couldn't be more proud of you.
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 am very proud of Alex Rodriguez, and I am delighted for him and his family. A-Rod demonstrates the talent, hard work, and dedication of a true winner.
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.
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.
I think about the next season right away.
As I've always said, the way New Yorkers back us we have to produce for them.
Our team played hard, but we let our fans down. We will do better.
Places I Want to Go ... If, You Know, I Decide I Really Want to Go.
Sure, we got punished badly last night, but winners never quit and quitters never win. New Yorkers never quit, and we reflect the spirit of New York.
Sure, there will be some more back out, whether it's our players or somebody else's. I'm used to spring training being to concentrate on the World Series, and that's what we like to see our players do. But we don't tell them not to play.
