The Soreness I Have Is Expected. I

I Think Anything Is Possible If You Have The Mindset And The Will And Desire To Do It And Put The Time In.

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.

It Was An Exciting Time For Me Personally Because The Number Of Times I've Been To The Playoffs, That Was The Opportunity To Obtain The First Ring. That Was Special, That's For Sure.

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.

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.
