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.

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

New York is great, but the New England fans are probably the most knowledgeable and ardent fans, and not just in baseball, but all sports. But Red Sox Nation is Red Sox Nation.

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 would have to say that because I've lived in so many cities, by no means do I feel it's fair to call myself a 'fan' of any particular teams. I've lived in New York for a long time, and I did this movie about the Yankees called '*61.' I found out a lot about the Yankees during that time, so I love the Yankees, I've watched the Yankees.

The Dodgers to me are the Yankees of the National League.

True Yankees are born, not made.

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

I like New York.

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