law waste whatever
If I have to, I will. I'll do whatever the law (requires) me to do, but other than that, it's a waste of my time.
easy overdo
I'm fine. Just got to take it easy and not overdo it.
beat fourth hit hitting third
I've hit third all my life. But I'm hitting fourth for the Yankees. You can't beat that.
family money point spent tried
I've tried (to help). I've put him in rehab. I've spent a lot of money to do that. I've been there for him. But it comes to a point where you've just got to let him go through what he's got to go through. The family has tried everything.
baseball lights spring work
I need to work myself into baseball shape. This is part of spring training. I still have to be careful. When the lights come on, I get focused.
ball blow past slammed tried wall
I got whiplash. I didn't even know the wall was there. I tried to blow past the ball and I slammed into the wall.
baseball good lukewarm played start
You can start out hot, you can start out lukewarm or you can start out cold. If you're a good team, it will show up in the end. And we are a good team. Baseball is played the way it's played - you can't just make something happen.
bad brought dodgers greedy happened played sign
They brought it up in the beginning. This is how it happened in L.A. (where he played with the Dodgers from 1998-2002). They wanted to sign me to an extension; I didn't go to them. But when I didn't want to go through with it, I'm the bad guy, the greedy guy.
fun people
A lot of people try to make it more than it is. But it was the same. I think it should be fun for the fans. And it was.
bad box corner feeling step time took trying turn walk
I thought I would turn the corner when I didn't play. It wasn't feeling that bad when I'd walk up stairs, so I thought it was getting better. Once I took one step out of the batter's box trying for a double, I couldn't do it. I don't have time to be waiting.
anyone care
I've never had an organization come to me and say, 'Eventually, we're going to take care of you. I've never had anyone say, 'I'm going to take care of you.' Why shouldn't I be happy? That's a first for me in 17 years.
starting team
This team is resilient. We don't quit. Now we're starting to come into our own.

arm bring catch energy fans motivate played sure uniform yankees
When it's done, that's the right time. When it happens, I'm sure it will catch me off-guard and I'll be happy. And if it doesn't happen, I'll have to do what I have to do. I just want to put on the uniform and do what I do. It's the fans that make me play the way I play. When I get the energy out of right field, especially in the Yankees uniform, those fans make me do what I do. I couldn't have played with one arm in Colorado. You can't motivate me enough to do that. Only the Yankees fans bring that out of me.
