Alex Rodriguez Quotations

I love being out on the field, ... I feel it's an important part of us winning games is being out on the field, being consistent and playing both sides of the ball.

I love being out on the field, but this isn't the time to be a hero, ... If you put a gun to my head, I'm sure that I could play. But we have very important games coming up in the next month, so we're taking the safest route.

I think Randy is going to have a great year because he's in a great state of mind, has had a wonderful spring, and, I know from experience that in Year 2, the comfort level should be a lot better for him. I know it was for me.

I think defence, for the most part, being a balanced player and also saving a lot of runs on the defensive side, I think was a major factor here. To me, defence is foremost. It's always been. The White Sox showed us this year pitching and defense wins to this day.

I think most of us were flabbergasted by not knowing any of these bracket systems.

It doesn't mean anything unless you come in and play well tomorrow. It's obviously better to have a one-game lead than a tie, but we still have to come out here and play an important game tomorrow night.

I think I'm going to have to take a look in the mirror, ... I didn't do my part.

No player should have to go through what I have been dealing with, and I am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get justice, but that players' contracts and rights are protected through the next round of bargaining.

I like to score and drive in runs more than pay attention to batting average.

I only look forward. I can't get all caught up in what I've done. I still have plenty to accomplish in the game. Hopefully, I'm just scratching the surface.
