adversity face fall love man players somebody stand tall ticking tough town
Every New Yorker, they love to see somebody face adversity and still stand tall and not fall by the wayside. They like to see you man up and you take your beating, but you just keep going and ticking and keep working hard. And they love those stories. It's a tough town here, it really is, and a lot of players fall by the wayside out here.

I'm just glad we won. If I had hit three solo shots and we lost, who cares? ... They came in big spots. I love playing in this ballpark. I came through here a lot of years with the A's. I see the ball well, and it gets out of here to left.

It's a different emotion when you put on that uniform and it says 'United States' on the front. I didn't appreciate it as much then as I do because I was just a kid. It was a lot of fun. I'm sure Derek is going to love the experience.

For Johnny, this is perfect. The audience is just bigger. He'll love this stuff.

I'm just swinging the bat and playing the game. I haven't really thought about it. If I'm swinging the bat good, so I don't think it matters where I'm playing.

Everybody wants to come here and win. We've been close, but we need to get over the top this year. No doubt about it.

Everybody's goal is to win. When you're a veteran player, you don't worry about getting your numbers, because everybody here has gotten their contract and has gotten paid. It's all about winning, and to do that, you have to concentrate on the little things.

Everybody sees Johnny Damon for long hair and the beard, but he's a great, great teammate. He's fun to play with. He'll be fun for this team. I think they'll really enjoy having Johnny around.
