Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.

I have no problem with the arbitration process.

Home runs come in bunches. You can go two weeks without one or hit four in a week. Sometimes, you just feel that stroke for a week or two weeks straight.

The only dream I've ever had is to become a major league baseball player.

My greatest memories as a kid were playing sports with my dad and watching sports with my dad.

To be able to play baseball for those nine innings in front of a major league crowd is a special privilege.

I'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!

Education is very important to me, as is helping children.

I didn't realize how much I loved the game until I couldn't play it.

I have confidence that whatever I set in my mind will happen. Everything I strived for I reached.

I think everybody out there on the American team is out of their element. That's not an excuse. That's the way it is. It's early in the spring. A lot of guys are not as (locked-in) as they could be.

They say the brain never ages it’s a shame it can't teach the body that trick.

I've done gospel singing. I have a gospel album and country album.

Assuming I'm home and don't have an event, I'll have a massage or I'll talk on the phone.

I've just been watching other people's releases and learning from their mistakes. I know I'm bound to make a couple of my own, but I've got a couple ideas that I think are going to help get it out.

God's greatest interest is to glorify the wealth of His grace by making sinners happy in Him.

I've lived in London, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, New York, and Turin. But New York is my favorite city. It has so much energy, so much toughness.

When you're a regular on your show, that's your family. When people come in and out, it doesn't mean that you don't embrace them, but they have to leave.

It's entirely different waking up in the morning and praying. I read aloud six or seven different devotional books, one of which is the Bible and ask the Lord to be with me that day.
