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 get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
Derek Jeter
Image
I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.
Derek Jeter
Image
You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.

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.

It doesn't take any talent to play hard.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.
