cake baltimore crabs
Being from Baltimore, I'm a crab cake snob, and I'm very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.
contentment purpose true-happiness
If you are searching for your purpose in life then you're never going to be satisfied. This life will never satisfy you. You'll never be happy and you'll never be content. The only really contentment or true happiness is with Christ.
sports new-york cake
I've been very fortunate to play for four great organizations, but New York really takes the cake. Wearing the pinstripes is something that's very special to me, and it's the greatest organization in sports history.
home order color
My closet is in perfect order at home. All my dress shirts, all my casual shirts. All my suits, they're color coordinated. All my ties are color coordinated.
nice crazy suits
I'm not one of those crazy collectors - I don't have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we're on the road and I'm wearing a nice suit.
yankees skins razors
I have sensitive skin, so I don't use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!
running dirty kids
I was always a neat kid. I never wanted my hands dirty. I wasn't a dirty kid. A lot of kids like to run around. If I was rolling around the dirt, I went home and took a shower. That's just the way I was. I'm not sure. I might have been born with it.
college years best-year
College was a blast. My three years of college were the best years of my life.
differences league making-a-difference
I expected to be in the big leagues soon. I didn't know exactly how soon, but I wanted to be here soon, and I wanted to make a difference soon.
running home careers
My first postseason home run was a walk-off in the Division Series. That was just a special moment in my career.
jobs thinking people
If I can be a good person and help a few non-believers or even help people that are believers but need a little help along the way, I think that's a job that I take very seriously.
hitting world worst
Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.
yankee-stadium yankees excited
I'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!
swings balls looks
I usually don't look at at-bats where I get out. I look at my hits. I look at good swings I put on balls. Because of that good swing or good at-bat, I can see what I need to continue to work on and recreate.
