I've never seen an athlete dominate any sport -- in baseball, in basketball, in football -- like he dominated this series.
Joe is a good man. I wish him luck and hope he does well.
Bill Connors did a wonderful job with Jaret Wright. He brought him along. He was patient, and he stuck with him with great results. What a pro.
Brian is the boss of that. It's up to Brian. We'll see what Brian does. It's in his hands.
It's an incredible achievement, particularly when I remember that when I bought the Yankees, we had trouble drawing 1 million to the stadium. We have the greatest fans in the world.
He's a good man, capable, a very caring person. He puts a lot of energy into his work.
I can't do much to teach him anything, but I'm just there so he knows he's got my support.
He's a nice kid, but he just can't hit in the clutch.
Joe and I had a great meeting yesterday. We both look forward to bringing a championship back to New York and our great fans.
I'll go on the record and predict somebody's going to get hurt badly in this damn thing. Somebody's going to get hurt and hurt some team. Baseball didn't need this. It's disrupting spring training.
The New York Yankees, in heeding the President's call to help the people devastated by this hurricane in the affected areas, are going to donate $1 million to the relief effort, ... This is one of America's greatest natural disasters and tragedies, and it is the responsibility of the American public to step up and help those in need.
I'm happy to have him in the fold. He's a gem.
He looked great. I'm really pleased with Wright.
It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk.
