There's no way I can go play for the Yankees, but I know they're going to come after me hard. It's definitely not the most important thing to go out there for the top dollar, which the Yankees are going to offer me. It's not what I need.
I take pride knowing that I hustle, day in and day out.
There is no excuse for not catching a ball you can get to.
We all pulled together at the right time, unfortunately, we were down 3-0 to the Yankees when we decided to do it, but we did it. And we shocked the world.
I feel like I've been a Yankee my whole life.
I love Boston and I always will. I'll always have terrific memories and great fans here.
I play every game like it's going to be my last.
What we really need is for me to get hot and stay hot. When I go, this team really takes off.
I blame myself every night we lose.
My biggest adjustment has been learning not to be afraid to fail.
There's not too many teams that can succeed on and off the field together.
I wouldn't mind being a hero to a kid. I grew up idolizing players, so I know how important that is for a lot of younger kids.
I fell in love with Boston, so hopefully, I'll be here for a long time.
Moving to New York was the best decision I ever made.
I want to be the best leadoff hitter of our time.
The biggest thing I want is for the hitter coming up behind me to get a good pitch to hit.
I'm gaining weight the right way: I'm drinking beer.
I know what it takes to win ball games.
There's no way I can go play for the Yankees.
Whenever I have a bad performance, I look at it as a learning experience.
Without chiropractic, I wouldn't be able to play consistently throughout the season.
People have the right to say what they want, but as long as I can go to bed at night and look myself in the mirror, I'll be all right.
New York came after me aggressively and that's what sealed the deal.
I know who I am. And I know I'm a good person.
I just go out and play.
