I Had To Will My Way Through

He's (george Steinbrenner) The One Who Gave Me A Chance To Get To The World Series. This Is Where I Wanted To Be All Along. We Had A Couple Of Nice Offers From Other Teams, But I Tied My Agents' Hands. I Told Them I Wanted To Be A Yankee.

My Main Concern Is When It's 2-0, I've Got To Keep It At 2-0. It Gives Us A Little More Of A Chance. To Give Up Four More Runs, That Isn't Going To Get It Done. I Don't Care Who You're Facing Or Who You're Playing, It's Not Going To Get It Done.

I Had To Will My Way Through That Game. Sometimes, It Takes More Than Talent Or More Than A 95-mile-an-hour Fastball. You Have To Will It.

It's Pretty Simple, The Way I Look At It. I Became A Hall Of Famer Here (in New York), With My Numbers Here And What I've Done Here, And Hopefully Three-hundred Will Be Another Big Part Of That. When (former Red Sox General Manager Dan) Duquette Said That I Was Done, If I'd Have Taken His Advice And Went Home, I Wouldn't Have Been A Hall Of Famer. So It's A No-brainer. It's Definitely Pretty Easy. Reggie (jackson) Spent Five Years Here, And This Will Be Five For Me.

The Reality Is That My Stepfather Was Like A Father To Me And Watching Him Die From A Sudden Heart Attack Was One Of The Hardest Things I Have Ever Gone Through.
