Quote

I've been a Yankees fan since I was six.

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

The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.

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

At least, in this situation, I know my chances of coming back could be slim because of the young talent the Yankees do have.

Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.

Let me tell you something: I love the Yankees. And let me tell you why: because without the Yankees, there is nobody to hate.

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.

True Yankees fans know an up-and-coming player when they see one.

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