My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.

You know, Mike Milken, the money that he has raised for cancer research has been remarkable.

Jerry Coleman was the kind of player who made me proud to wear the pinstripes.

St. Louis has always been special to me.

By rule, the decision to reverse a call by use of instant replay is at the sole discretion of the crew chief.

I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.

As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.

There's nothing that can replace the feeling of winning.

You hear the word 'cancer,' it scares you. You think of death.

I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

You have to fix something when it first appears.

There is no worse emotion than fear.

When you've been in the game as long as I have, you know the managers you've played for, the good ones and the bad ones. Even the good ones get fired.

When I was coming home from school as a youngster, and I saw my dad's car in the driveway, I would go to a friend's house. I connected my dad being there with fear.

At 7-1, your pitching has obviously controlled that other team. At 16-10, I'm not sure when it's safe.

When you're in a slump, you do something different, just to try it. I remember one time I was in a slump, and I borrowed one of Henry Aaron's bats and hit two homers. I used my own bats the next night. I just needed a change.

I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.

When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.

As a supporter of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and their Home Run Challenge program, I am extremely grateful for the valuable partnerships and relationships built with Major League Baseball and our affiliates.

In baseball, you're always moving people around.

If a club is winning, you never pay attention to a guy who's 0-for-10. If a club is losing, all of a sudden you'll find that he's the main reason why you're losing, which is absurd for me.

When I was a player and hit into a double play, I felt as if I was letting everyone down.

When I became the manager of the New York Yankees, it was an opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of winning the World Series. We were fortunate enough to succeed in our first season in 1996, and in the years that followed, we wrote some great new chapters in Yankee history.

I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.

Stress is something that is sort of out of your control. You get stressed out over looking at the finish line. Stress is something that is an outside thing. Stress is an anxiety.

When we lost, I couldn't sleep at night. When we win, I can't sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better.

Baseball has always been filled with negative statistics.

With negotiations, you never know what's going to happen.

Spring Training is a fun time for me.

The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing.
