I have played professional baseball for over half my life. From the time I picked up a baseball glove, I did not want to put it down.

I know the good Lord wouldn’t give me any more than I can handle, but I sure wish he wouldn’t have so much confidence in me.

My experience over 17 years playing with the Yankees, these are a few of the things that I’ve learned. You’ve got to have a plan of action, You have to stay focused on the things you can control, and don’t get discouraged or distracted by the things you cannot control.

I had a good run here, fifteen years. That’s a great run. I’m not saying that I’m done in center field – if I could play there forever, I would. But I know that’s not reality, so I’m happy.

My job is to make myself available to play to the best of my ability. Mentally, I’ve got to stay ready to play every day.

That’s like the really fun, exciting thing about wrestling. There’s no such thing as perfecting this art.

Coming up with something new and original is so exciting.
