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

I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.

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

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

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

I always appreciated the ex-players. Being a Yankee, you get spoiled. Old-Timers Day, all these guys coming back, spring training, being around them, you get a chance to get to know them. So I always think you learn a lot by listening.

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

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

I've been called a lot of things. But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan.
