What I miss when I'm away is the pride in baseball. Especially the pride of being on a team that wins.

Another club can be beating you for six innings but for some reason the good ball clubs get tough and win them in the last three.

As a result of yesterday's proceedings, which were very overwhelming and emotionally draining, she was unable to proceed again today.

I really love the togetherness in baseball. That's a real true love.

I may not have been the best Yankee to put on the pinstripes, but I am the proudest.

Most people miss the great part mental outlook plays in this game.

Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier. The cigars taste better. The trees are greener.

It's like we are slaves, like we are in jail.

When it's real on a team, it's a deep love-pride.
