My father left me with a saying that I've carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: 'Tough times don't last, tough people do,'
I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up.
In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.
Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.
The money I saved during baseball was probably all gone. I'm tapped out.
I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'
Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually.
Every dollar I can't commit to my company that's paid in taxes is paying a government that I believe is too big and doing way too much that I don't want done.
I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.
It is all about rehab. Most doctors can make you 100 percent well physically. I would tell you that it is 25 percent about the surgery and 75 percent about the rehab.
People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.
There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.
I was a very weird amalgam of things as a kid.
I had a laptop when they weighed 10 pounds.
I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.
I've had teammates I didn't get along with, who hasn't? I've never had a teammate call me a bad guy, while he was my teammate, and if he did when I was gone what kind of teammate was he anyway?
I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.
I've been playing games for 30 years, and I've been a hard-core gamer.
I don't miss anything I did for a living.
War is by no means something glamorous, and I don't think that should ever be forgotten.
I'm a good person. I don't wish hateful things on people. I don't hate anybody. I know that I treat people right.
It really is not that complicated, I just don’t understand HOW people don’t grasp the concept of ‘Free Market’, and why left alone, it WORKS!
I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses.
In my mind, I never doubted whether I was going to achieve what I wanted to do. I just had to decide what it is I wanted to do.
I did all the stupid things you'd expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.
