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

I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

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

I always had the attitude that I wanted to throw a no-hitter every game.

I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.

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

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

I grew up an Indians fan my entire life. I was never really 'against' the Yankees, but I knew what they were capable of.
