Joe is a good man. I wish him luck and hope he does well.
Joe and I had a great meeting yesterday. We both look forward to bringing a championship back to New York and our great fans.
I think it's bull----. Some good player is going to get hurt and they don't have insurance on him. It's a bad situation. A lot of the players, the smart ones, are dropping out. ... Baseball didn't need this.
He's a good man, capable, a very caring person. He puts a lot of energy into his work.
Barry was a dear friend, a valued partner for many years and a decent, genuine person. What a great baseball fan he was. I'll miss him dearly.
I loved Herbert. I took him to ball games. He was just a wonderful person, and I really will miss him.
I feel very sorry for Dwight. He left the Yankees in April of his own accord.
I can't do much to teach him anything, but I'm just there so he knows he's got my support.
I am concerned because time is getting shorter as each day goes by. We've got to get better, that's for sure. It's never too early. Pitching is my main concern.
He has the right to do what he wants to do. That's a long time but he's a good player, though. He'll be all right.
He looks like a Yankee, he sounds like a Yankee and he is a Yankee.
He looked great. I'm really pleased with Wright.
He is very knowledgeable about the game and the business of baseball, and is extremely loyal.
Our team played hard, but we let our fans down. We will do better.
