I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.

It couldn’t happen any better, … This is a Hollywood script. It’s so good for baseball. It’s great for the rivalry between New York and Boston. And there might be baseball Monday, you never know.

I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn’t take any ability to hustle.

When I was with the Red Sox, there was no rivalry [compared to] the rivalry that was there in the ’70s,

In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game...

In my opinion, there was not a more feared hitter in baseball. When he walked to the plate and stared at the pitcher, you knew he was going to hit the ball hard and drive...

Looking back on those days and little leaguer, the Hall of Fame is not even a blinking star, but through baseball travels and moving up the ladder, that star begins to flicker.

I’m proud to help launch a program that reminds everyone not to drive drunk. This is a subject that I’m passionate about, particularly when it is delivered with such a positive voice.

Toronto was the team that we had to contend with all the time, and Oakland. Those were the two teams that we had to battle all the time. Once I went to New York and...

My God… What are the headlines going to be like on Monday if the Yankees don’t make the playoffs?

I talked to Wade and he said he regrets that he had other commitments and could not be here,

It doesn’t matter if you get 3,000 hits in 18 years or you get 3,000 hits in 22 years. You still have to reach that milestone. You still have to hit 500 home runs, and...

My journey took a surprising turn in 1992. I left Boston and who would have ever thought I would wind up with the New York Yankees?

sees a guy not run out a ball or loaf after a fly or not go first-to-third or second-to-home because he’s just trotting, it’s disturbing. I played the game one way. I gave it everything...

My God, … What are the headlines going to be like on Monday if the Yankees don’t make the playoffs?

One guy that I wish was here right now, Ted Williams, helped me so much, our long talks, not about hitting but about fishing, one of Ted’s passions, and I wish he was here today...

Those are three dominant pitchers in their era who really revolutionized the game,

I don’t miss it. And that’s the good part.

The owner of the New York Yankees, Mr. George Steinbrenner who I had the greatest respect for, I want to thank him for giving me the opportunity to win that special ring in 1996.

The things he did inspired me to play the game at that level, … When I retired in 1999, I grounded out to second and gave it everything I had running down to first base...

It’s been busy, but it’s been a great busy. Every day it’s something great. Somebody calls to do this or do that.

Then there’s Johnny Pesky, hit me countless number of ground balls and improved my fielding so much.

It’s awful hard to repeat, but this weekend is what baseball is all about, … Go Sox!

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that’s why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught my the game and you...

This journey started about 42 years ago in a little town of Brunswick, Georgia.

There’s a plaque missing in the hallway, as far as I’m concerned. He was one of the greatest hitters in the game. What he did was wrong, but as far as one of the greatest...

Humbled by the fact that never in a million years would I ever thought that I would be on the same stage with all these great Hall of Famers and enshrined to the National Baseball...

I didn’t get over 1300 walks without knowing the strike zone.
