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.
I feel very sorry for Dwight. He left the Yankees in April of his own accord.
We're going to honor him and welcome him. We're going to give him a New York Yankees welcome.
He looks like a Yankee, he sounds like a Yankee and he is a Yankee.
I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball.
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.
We are the New York Yankees
I'll stick to building ships.
He says all the right things, like it's Jeter's team. I want to correct him on that - it's my team.
I won't be active in the day-to-day operations of the ball club at all.
I'm pretty excited, this is a big, big one.
Irabu is a fat, pus-y toad.
I guess heaven needed a shortstop.
