“The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.”

You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we’re playing a game. It’s a business, it’s our job, but I don’t think you can do well unless you’re having fun.

You don’t just accidentally show up in the World Series.

Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.

You have to be confident, if you’re not confident you might as well go home.

Obviously, you’re known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You’re a person a lot longer before and after you’re a professional athlete.

You’ve got to make adjustments as you get older.

I’m not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.

I want to play every day. This year will be absolutely no different.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

I never think about my own stats, as long as I’m contributing to the team.

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can’t take that away from me.

I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams – I’m not knocking other teams – but there’s only one shortstop on the Yankees.

You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.

I’ve been lying to you guys for a long time, saying I wasn’t nervous and there’s no pressure. There was a lot of pressure to do it here.

It doesn’t seem like the season really gets under way until you have your home opener

It doesn’t take any talent to play hard.

Time is very precious to me. I don’t know how much I have left, and I have some things that I would like to say. Hopefully, at the end, I will have said something that will be important to other people, too.

You are what you leave behind.

To build my legacy and be that person I want to be, this is what it’s going to take: to get on the road and travel. Let’s do it that way.

I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There’s something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I’d love to have that legacy.

As I reflect on the legacy of my father, the greatest aspect is his legacy of peace.

Our task today is to bring India to the threshold of the twenty-first century, free of burden of poverty, legacy of our colonial past, and capable of meeting the rising aspirations of our people.

You don’t wanna mess up what you’ve done. It’s like Jordan coming back: You’re scared to mess up the legacy.

Worry about going out there and making your own legacy.
