For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.

I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.

I try to stay as private as possible I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.

A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.

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

Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.

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 love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
