Whether I hit .260 or .320, the bottom line here is to win.

I've never felt overmatched on the baseball field. I've always been a very strong, dominant position. And I felt that if I did my work as I've done since I was, you know, a rookie back in Seattle, I didn't have a problem competing at any level. So, no.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
Not one day goes by when I don't remind myself of how grateful I am for those who came before me over the last 25 years. When I see players like Mike Schmidt and Johnny Bench, I thank them.

You always dream about being on a baseball card. It's kind of funny when you finally see it.

Image
We (Derek Jeter and I) want to kill each other. I think we both drive each other and motivate each other. But, when we're off the field, we're like family. I think the nice thing about it is we became good friends before we even mad it to the big leagues. That makes it more of a healthy relationship.

Image
Playing the game was the easy part. The real work was in the preparation.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
I guess anytime you are mentioned with Hank Aaron, it is the ultimate compliment, not only as a hitter, but obviously, the great ballplayer that he was.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
I'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
I don't expect people to feel sorry for me. My teammates get more upset about the criticism and booing than I do.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the ass.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
It takes a lot of pressure off you just to go out and play, and your talent sometimes shines even more when you don't worry about individual stuff.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
You can have fun, respect the game and also play it hard. When you have that combination, you're going to put yourself in a position to be successful.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
I only look forward. I can't get all caught up in what I've done. I still have plenty to accomplish in the game. Hopefully, I'm just scratching the surface.

I hate the word 'potential'-potential means you haven't gotten it done.
