“When my Yankee career is over I’ll play anywhere, but I’m positive that I’ll never find a team quite like the Yankees.”

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.

Don’t be afraid to take risks. Make the most of your journey. Make it fun and exciting.

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.

The prevailing – and foolish – attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he’s managing.

It’s good to be here. At 98, it’s good to be anywhere.

Nice to be here? At my age it’s nice to be anywhere.

I’ll try any guitar just to see if it’s different in an effort to see if it will lead me anywhere.

All I know is, if you listen to society, you’ll never get anywhere!

I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.

If you start from nothing, it is very difficult to get anywhere.

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.
