You get an idea what a manager has to go through every day. His is at a very high level. He has situations he has to deal with and the expectations he has to deal with, the personalities he has to deal with. It's a lot.

That's why I cut my hair so short. It was getting a little gray.

Derek Jeter has been a great representative of what the Yankees have stood for over the years. He has been a team player who has only cared about winning. He has also been a fine example both on and off the field over his long tenure as a Yankee. It has been a real pleasure to manage him and play alongside him.

I want players to look neat and responsible. Maybe it's old school, but it's kind of neat when people are always clean.

Be who you are. If you're comfortable leading, you're comfortable. And if you're not, it's OK.
