As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.

After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.

Everybody says we hated the Yankees. We didn't hate the Yankees. We just hated the way they beat us.

I hated baseball. I really didn't like baseball at all until someone decided they were going to pay me... Every year I played in the big leagues, the day the season ended, I called my buddies in West Virginia and said, 'I'll be home tomorrow.'

I like the Dodgers because my dad does - wait, no, not the Dodgers. Strike me down! The Yankees. I like the Yankees.

I loved the opportunity to play for the Yankees, too.

People grow up loving the Yankees and will tell you, and so many people despise the Yankees, and they come from all over the United States.

I am disappointed and disturbed by both the NFL and the Dodgers - but much more by the Dodgers.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.
