He couldn't stop crying. It almost made me cry. He's an unbelievable man. I got pretty choked up.

He couldn't even speak; he couldn't stop crying,
andy good gotten great
I still get bored, but I don't mind. I've never been very good at it. It's good for me to sometimes get some rest, though. It's gotten Andy some at-bats, which is good, because he's a great player.
bad break drive fell hard hitter injury kept knee last paid playing reason runs worked
I think I can be a .300 hitter and drive in 100 runs again, definitely. When I had a knee injury (in 2003) I kept playing but I fell into a lot of bad habits. I've worked with Donnie to break those, and I think that hard work paid off last summer. I see no reason why I can't do the things I did before.
bad best career great harder helped win wins
I think he was harder on himself. He wanted to come in here and win 25 games. He battled for us, and even when he didn't have his best stuff, he helped us win. You know you've had a great career when 17 wins is a bad year.
few swings walks worried
We don't get worried when we're behind. We know we're only a few walks and a few swings from being back in the ballgame.
break hit open seem
We just couldn't seem to get the big hit to break open games.
ball brad easily momentum swing throwing turned
We could have easily had the momentum swing and just got swept, especially with Brad Radke on the mound. He's been throwing the ball (well). We could have easily turned this into a disaster.
disaster easily gotten momentum swing turned
We could have easily had the momentum swing and gotten swept. We could have turned this into a disaster.
came glad worry
We have to worry about winning, ... I'm glad that tonight, I came up big. They came in big situations, which is what's most important.
anyone care create depend destiny everybody pressure single taking win
We have to win every single night, ... We create our own destiny; it's in our hands. If we win every night, we put the pressure on everybody else. We don't have to depend on anyone else to win or lose. As long as we keep taking care of ourselves, we'll be all right.
batting encouraged encouragement excited few friend good great guy hitter include johnny last natural next places preferred presence return sign spoke strongly teammate week whose year
Johnny and I spoke a few times over the last week and I strongly encouraged him to sign with the Yankees. It is good to know that our lineup next year will include a natural leadoff hitter whose presence allows Jeter and A-Rod to return to their preferred places in the batting order. Johnny is a good friend and a great guy to have in the clubhouse. I am very excited about having him as a teammate again.
great playing time
I'm still playing the game, having a great time.
best couple enjoy felt fun locked stay strike trying
I was just trying to stay in my strike zone. I enjoy (multi-homer) games, it makes it fun. I'm just trying to stay locked in. This is the best I've felt in a couple years.
