So is work ethic. You do things over and over again, and when you get in a situation you like to think it comes natural. I think there has to be a mind-set that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit. The calmer you are, the more the game slows down for you, and I think part of that is controlling your emotions.

You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.

Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

The Yankees have twenty-five heroes.
Derek Jeter

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
