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've been a Yankee my whole life.

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

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

I've always said I never want to wear another uniform. I've always said that I owe it to the fans to retire as a Packer. I feel like I can still play, but if I can't play for my organization, then I can't play for anyone else.

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.

Am I still in uniform? Then I ain't retired.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

Boston is so laced with jerseys that you can be dressed head to toe in team apparel and no one will look twice.
