There have been so many great players that I've played with, that I've played against over the years.

I consider myself very much a team player.

The work of a team should always embrace a great player but the great player must always work.

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

But the best teams I've encountered have one important thing in common: their team structure and processes cover a full range of distinct competencies necessary for success.

Only in baseball can a team player be a pure individualist first and a team player second, within the rules and spirit of the game.

You've got to be extremely careful, because you could be with a great team, and you could be the product of a great team. There are some players that stand out despite the teams that they play on, and there are some players that are good because of the team that they're with.

Every role is the best role you've ever got. It's the only role you have.

Obviously every one of them was special to that particular team, all the people that were involved with it.
