Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical
I love baseball, I really do. I always told my Dad, I'm not gonna make it working... I like to play ball too much. Which I did. I played hard. You gotta work at this game. You really do. And its fun doing it if you do it the right way.
I didn't really say everything I said.
It's fun; baseball's fun.
You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you.
Slump? I ain't in no slump... I just ain't hitting.
Swing at the strikes.
I'd say he's done more than that.

In baseball, you don't know nothin'.
It's never happened in the World Series competition, and it still hasn't.
I'd find the fellow who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it.
I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.
