When I go home my mother still makes me take out the garbage.

I love the game of baseball.

People expect you to play your best, so I go through a routine to prepare myself so that I know I'm physically and mentally ready - prepared for the game.

I feel good, and the way I determine it is through my workout. I work so hard in the offseason that if I'm able to do everything I have to, I figure I must be healthy.

You know it as soon as you walk in Yankee Stadium. The electricity is there every time, every day.

You can't hit without your hands.

Get an education because no one can take that away from you.

One of my superstitions is I'm not allowed to talk about them.

That's basically what I'm doing when I'm tapping them - getting my toes to the end of my shoes.

All players are their own worst critics. We are harder on ourselves than anyone else is.

People ask me if my shoes were too small when I was a kid and I say it wouldnt matter how fight my shoes were, I just liked that feeling of them being in there. Thats how I started tapping my toes.

My maid never sweeps under the bed so I asked her to do so today. Found a pen, three pairs of shoes and the man I had lost two years ago.

Faith in oneself unlocks those hidden powers that all of us have, but that so few of us use.

For 20 years, Simon & Schuster asked me, 'Why don't you write your autobiography?'

I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.

A man must believe in himself and his judgement if he expects to make a living at this game. That is why I don't believe in tips."

I would say my sense of adventure outweighs my grace.

Elections are about the future. And the GOP will not win a campaign focused on the past.

The only way to live is to die. I must die. I deserve only death.

As we meet and touch, each day, The many travelers on our way, Let every such brief contact be A glorious, helpful minister.

The way that we see things today does not have to be the way we saw them yesterday. This is because the situations, our relationships to them, ad we ourselves have changed in the interim.
