They were both fine young men and great Yankees, and we are praying for their families and loved ones.

The whole coaching staff is the responsibility of Joe Torre.
The New York Yankees, in heeding the President's call to help the people devastated by this hurricane in the affected areas, are going to donate $1 million to the relief effort, ... This is one of America's greatest natural disasters and tragedies, and it is the responsibility of the American public to step up and help those in need.
It was indeed the right thing to do.
It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk.
It's a lot of time, but he's a good player. He'll be all right.
It makes me feel very good. It really does. He's a good man. I like him. I understand him. I understand what he's after. I'm very happy to have him.
It's an incredible achievement, particularly when I remember that when I bought the Yankees, we had trouble drawing 1 million to the stadium. We have the greatest fans in the world.
I've got no comment. It's all in the manager's hands.
Not good. I'm not going to say any more.
I am very proud of Alex Rodriguez, and I am delighted for him and his family. A-Rod demonstrates the talent, hard work, and dedication of a true winner.
I am very happy that Brian will continue as general manager. Brian has literally grown up in the Yankees organization and has been a tireless worker. He is very knowledgeable about the game and the business of baseball and is extremely loyal. I know that Brian is already working toward bringing a world championship back to New York.
He's No. 1, as far as I'm concerned. We were thinking today of how many good guys have come out of Cuba, and he's certainly the best one that ever came out of there.
