The best clutch hitter I've ever seen. To me, he's the MVP. The guy's amazing.

This team puts itself in a position to win year in and year out. That is something that entices you as a player. If there is a weak link, there will not be a weak link much longer because they are going to go out and get the best player to help them win.

It was good to see the best right out of the chute. I know exactly what I need to work on. Get my timing down. It was a good day.

I've been waiting for that moment to happen for a while. I'm just happy it's right around the corner. It's definitely a dream come true. Some of the best players who have ever played this game have roamed center field for the Yankees.

A good leadoff hitter is tough to find. And I think New York just found the best leadoff hitter in the game.
