I feel like I've been a Yankee my whole life.

I just wanted to go play in the big leagues. But possibly playing for the Yankees is very special.

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

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

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

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

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.

The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.

I'm very thankful to the Yankees and to Major League Baseball for allowing me to play this game.

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