I know the good Lord wouldn't give me any more than I can handle, but I sure wish he wouldn't have so much confidence in me.

My experience over 17 years playing with the Yankees, these are a few of the things that I've learned. You've got to have a plan of action, You have to stay focused on the things you can control, and don't get discouraged or distracted by the things you cannot control.

Don't be afraid to take risks. Make the most of your journey. Make it fun and exciting.

I had a good run here, fifteen years. That's a great run. I'm not saying that I'm done in center field - if I could play there forever, I would. But I know that's not reality, so I'm happy.
