Derek Jeter Last Quotations

This will not be Bernie Williams' last game in Yankee Stadium.

Let them keep taking shots. He had a pretty good year last year.

We haven't accomplished anything. Last I checked, you don't win anything with (11) games left.

You have to be confident; if you're not confident, you might as well go home. It was really nice of the fans, ... but it won't be Bernie's last game here.

We've been playing important games for the last month or so now. It doesn't matter whether we're home or on the road.

We had our opportunities. We were in it until the last inning. We put pressure on them.

No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.

The bottom line is it's never over until the last out. If you've done something before, you always think you can do it again.

It was nice. But it's not Bernie's last game at Yankee Stadium.

The last thing you need when you're not going well is to look over and see panic on your manager's face. With Joe, he always looks like he's in control. I mean, from being around him so long, I can tell when he's angry. But panic, that's something you'll never see from him.

If we beat them, it still doesn't make up for what happened last year. They've got great defense and a bullpen that's one of the best. They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for everybody. Yeah, we've had some rough elimination games there. You remember them, but you don't really think about them while you're playing. We've been eliminated in other places.

I know I said it last year, but winning the Gold Glove for the second consecutive season is extremely gratifying. Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games,

I don't know how many balls he's hit down the first-base line, ... I don't know when the last time was.

You can't take anyone for granted. ... One good pitching performance and you're in trouble. It's good. We got a little help last night. Then we came out and we did what we needed to do today.
