“I'm the straw that stirs the drink.”

“Fans don't boo nobodies.”

“I didn't come to New York to be a star, I brought my star with me.”

“The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.”

“So many ideas come to you and you want to try them all, but you can't. You're like a mosquito in a nudist camp. You don't know where to start.”

“The will to win is worthless if you don't get paid for it.”

“October is the month for greatness.”

“I was a guy who came to the plate looking for a home run every time I came up.”

“If I'm not the MVP, I'm the best player. And if I'm not the best player, I'm the most valuable.”

“Hitting is a game of numbers. It's a game of adjustments.”

“When you've played this game for ten years and gone to bat 7,000 times and gotten 2,000 hits do you know what that really means? It means you've gone zero for 5,000.”

“I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it.”

“Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream.”
