Everybody sees Johnny Damon for long hair and the beard, but he’s a great, great teammate. He’s fun to play with. He’ll be fun for this team. I think they’ll really enjoy having Johnny around.

It’s been a long time since I hit a ball like that to center.

He couldn’t stop crying. It almost made me cry. He’s an unbelievable man. I got pretty choked up.

It’s exciting, but I’m not done. Let’s see where I finish.

Actually, Joe was the one who congratulated me, … And I said: ‘For what? I know ain’t gotten a hit in a while.’ But it’s exciting, no doubt about it.

I have nothing to say. I haven’t seen it.

I still get bored, but I don’t mind. I’ve never been very good at it. It’s good for me to sometimes get some rest, though. It’s gotten Andy some at-bats, which is good, because he’s...

He gave us the start we needed.

I just saw it pop out of his hand and I said ‘I can put this one in play,’

We just wanted to get in. It’s been such a long, tough year. I know everyone in here is enjoying every single minute of this. Especially for a guy like me, and where I started....

This is the best I’ve felt in a while putting on a Yankee uniform. My swing has been really good so far this year. … The main thing was just a lot of hard work...

Over the course of the season, you’re not going to score 10 runs every night. You need to win the 2-1 games, too, and we’re not going to have to sit back and wait for...

This was a big win for us, especially the way we came back. Hopefully it can get us going a little bit.

Jaret Wright’s the reason why we had a chance to win tonight. He kept his composure.

It turns into two and three because you rest Monday and start again on Tuesday. That’s huge.

We had our shots. You gotta come up with that big hit. And we haven’t come up with it yet.

I think it’s going to be a little bit easier for Johnny. He’s coming over from Boston. I think he has already been through it. He’s not going to have the deer in the headlights...

It was huge for us. They’ve got a great team over there, and we could have easily turned this thing into a disaster.

He can go out on a consistent basis and shut you out, … I don’t care what lineup you have. When he’s on, he’s on. He’s like one of those guys ? Hudson, Mulder, Rocket,...

Baseball had record crowds last year. Probably with Barry going to break the [home run] record, it will bump it up and more people will come out and watch it. That makes players more popular,...

They have the best bullpen. I don’t necessarily think at the end – ours is as good as any, because we’ve got Mariano, and there’s nobody better in postseason play – but just some of...

When they first got down there they were trying to speed him along. I talked to him and he said they had some good workouts . . . I don’t care how much you train...

I’ll just keep going, try not to think about it. I’ll do whatever needs to be done.

Ask me (Sunday). I guess one thing is that the field will be better. You don’t want to have a mistake made that maybe wouldn’t be made on a dry field.
