You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.
