nice crazy suits
I'm not one of those crazy collectors - I don't have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we're on the road and I'm wearing a nice suit.
yankees skins razors
I have sensitive skin, so I don't use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!
yankees long long-time
I've waited a long time to be part of a franchise like this [the Yankees].
hitting world worst
Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.
yankee-stadium yankees excited
I'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!
christian baseball play
I don't play baseball first. I put Christ first in my life. I put my family behind Him and I put baseball down the line. I obviously want to succeed. I want to do well. I want to perform. But at the same time, I'm at peace that no matter what happens on this earth, the more important part is being a Christian, and being in the Kingdom of Heaven when it's all said and done.
swings balls looks
I usually don't look at at-bats where I get out. I look at my hits. I look at good swings I put on balls. Because of that good swing or good at-bat, I can see what I need to continue to work on and recreate.
slides complacent seasons
You can never pat yourself on the back during the season. Then you get complacent, stop working and let yourself slide.
basketball sports football
It's just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.
texas fans
There's no question that I love playing in Texas. I love the fans. I love everything about Texas.
team spring thinking
I think everybody out there on the American team is out of their element. That's not an excuse. That's the way it is. It's early in the spring. A lot of guys are not as (locked-in) as they could be.
forgive-me forgiving helping
Every time I pray, I ask for forgiveness. I'm a sinner. I sin every single day. But I do know that God loves me. I do know that God forgives me. It helps me in my every day life because there's nothing anyone can do to me that I can't forgive them for.
matter today needs
My biggest thing is I need to see a lot of pitches, which I did today. That's good. The more pitches you see, the better your timing is going to be. But it's going to be impossible to see enough pitches. No matter how many pitches you see, it's still going to be March 6.
arbitration problem process
I have no problem with the arbitration process.
