I feel like I've been a Yankee my whole life.

I love being a Yankee, and it's hard not to. It's a special place to play.

I'm happy to be with this organization, and I hope to retire as a Yankee.

I could never wear another uniform. I will forever be a Yankee.

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

I was always the shame of the family - the one Yankee who was actually born in the North.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

I feel like I owe the Yankee fan base my A-game.

The only difference between me and those other great Yankees is my skin color.
