Sportswriters are what make sports great and fun to watch.

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

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

I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.

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

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.

This is why you play - to get an opportunity to play in the playoffs.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

I sit in my treeI sing like the birdsMy beak is my penMy songs are my poems.

Experience will tell you if you need more of it.

Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and turns into a racket.

People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.

Breaking the world record has always been in the works. I just need the right conditions and I can make it.

I can read in red. I can read in blue. I can read in pickle color too.

Now that Mr. Carter has made a book of his diary, an adoring memoir entitled Keeping Faith, the notes read like a collection of letters sent from scout camp.

The prospect of a long day at the beach makes me panic. There is no harder work I can think of than taking myself off to somewhere pleasant, where I am forced to stay for hours and 'have fun'.

If you don't invest in the characters, you don't care if they get killed. It's more fun if you know them.
