The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.
Derek Jeter
It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.
Derek Jeter
I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
