I’m not one of those crazy collectors – I don’t have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we’re on the road and I’m...

The way the first 10 games have gone, I’ve done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you’re...

Maybe that’s it. Either that or there was a flaw or defect in the baseball. I hit it hard but … I don’t know if I could take credit for that.

It’s a real honor to be included among the list of finalists, when you see the names that are there, … Some of the guys who won the Hank Aaron Award in the past are...

I have a lot of watches that need to be kept wound, so if I take two of them on a trip, there’s always one sitting around. And if it sits around for a day,...

best hitter in the game

He is a guy that is capable of carrying his team with his bat. He kind of gets hidden in our lineup. He is in a zone right now, and when you get that way,...

I’ve been very fortunate to play for four great organizations, but New York really takes the cake. Wearing the pinstripes is something that’s very special to me, and it’s the greatest organization in sports history.

I think we have to feel good. We started the season playing pretty poorly all around. To be where we are right now, we can’t complain.

That could be it exactly. The first day, I didn’t sleep at all. The second day, yeah, a little bit.

If that’s not working, I don’t know what is. The players have said all along we believe our system is working.

Being from Baltimore, I’m a crab cake snob, and I’m very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.

I have no problem with the arbitration process.

When the swelling goes down and the pain goes down, we’ll see how it goes.

My closet is in perfect order at home. All my dress shirts, all my casual shirts. All my suits, they’re color coordinated. All my ties are color coordinated.

There’s a ton of room for me to grow, … I’m still working on a lot of things and trying to get better.

We did have some opportunities because of the errors. We did capitalize on one of them, but their pitching was just too good. Colon is one of the best pitchers in the league and he...

You can put up great numbers, and everybody wants to do that. But if you don’t win, it’s an empty feeling for yourself and your fans.

I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.

It’s great to be in a real game.

He’s our ace. For him to be back is a huge boost for us. Unfortunately, he can only pitch one out of every five days.

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...

Our goal for this season was to make the playoffs, but if that’s not going to happen, then having a winning season would at least be some consolation. It’s not really a momentum thing going...

My biggest thing is I need to see a lot of pitches, which I did today. That’s good. The more pitches you see, the better your timing is going to be. But it’s going to...

When he gets hot, he can carry a team for a long time.

I have sensitive skin, so I don’t use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!

David’s my best friend on the team, a great teammate, a great player. Everyone’s going to miss him. I guess you can never have too much pitching, but it’s tough to lose David.

I have no expectations about the offseason. The last few years, we’ve shown that we are only going to build from within.

It’s just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.

We’ve got four All-Stars in there. You can make a case for all of them. They’re all playing really well.

I’m always ready on Opening Day. It’s been the weirdest Spring Training that I’ve ever had. The World Baseball Classic didn’t help, but I feel great and my body feels great.

It doesn’t mean that much unless the team wins, … Individual goals are great, but when I’m watching the playoffs, it won’t mean that much.

I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That’s all I need.

We still feel like this is a team that can compete. Unfortunately, this was our start, and we’ve got to turn it around.

I’m not offended. It’s outrageous and an outrageous claim.

There’s no question that I love playing in Texas. I love the fans. I love everything about Texas.

We definitely could have played better.

I love being a Yankee, and it’s hard not to. It’s a special place to play.

Any time you get named in a list like that, it’s very humbling. You see the careers those guys have had, and the career Pujols is going to have, it’s nice to be a part...

I’m happy to get this deal done and kind of get the business out of the way. I enjoy playing the game. This isn’t always an easy part of it. I’m glad to get ready...

My dad and all my family were into baseball. His brothers, my mom’s brothers, my mom’s father. Baseball was just always a part of our family.

That was the hardest ball ever hit to me down at first base.

We’ll have All-Stars two deep in the lineup, and then we’ll also have a pitching staff full of All-Stars.

There’s a lot of talent around the world. Anybody playing major league baseball, you look to your left there might be a player from Korea, you look to your right there might be a player...

It took me 16 at-bats. I told these guys it’s not that easy.

I enjoy spending time with my family. And when my family’s not around, when I’m on the road, a lot of sleep. I get my rest. I understand how important my job is and how...

I’m half-Italian and my name is Portuguese. Michael Young is half-Mexican. There are players from the United States that have heritage elsewhere and it’s a great thing to have a world cup to celebrate the...

He probably saved two or three runs. If he doesn’t make that play, I think the game is ours.

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

I want to win this thing more than anybody. And to be playing against the best players in the world, you want to win even more.
