View Photo »I told them, 'You'll never see anything like this again,' ... I can't think of any parades like this. We were a part of the Thanksgiving Day parade a couple of years back, but it's not even close.
Delta congratulates both Derek Jeter and David Wright for their superior level of performance and leadership, both on and off the field ... Even though the baseball season is over – and what a season it was! – Derek’s and David’s work in the community continues, and Delta is proud to support the philant...
It's an honor for me to win a championship with those guys. Hey there, Babe and Yogi, Mr. October and Joltin' Joe - you've got company. Teixeira, CC Sabathia and a new generation of Yankees have procured their place in pinstriped lore. We made it look easy, but it wasn't easy
You never see (Yankees shortstop) Derek Jeter doing this.
Yogi didn't have the playoffs, though. He went straight to the World Series
You're a wonderful role model not only for the youth of America but also for our players. You have been the face of baseball for many years, and you're truly deserving of this award ... I don't want to embarrass Derek, but as a player like Derek Jeter, it makes me very proud to be the commissioner of ba...
Any award that's named after Hank Aaron to me is very special, what he has represented, not only in his playing days but how he handled himself when he was playing off the field and to this day ... I have the utmost respect for him. This is an award that means a lot to me.
My heartfelt congratulations to Derek Jeter who truly embodies the purpose and spirit of the Roberto Clemente Award ... I also wish to thank all of this year's Award nominees, Major League Baseball, Chevy and other members of our global baseball family for their tireless efforts. They exemplify the impo...
I think it’s something that every kid dreams of ... If you ever dream of being a baseball player, you’re always in the backyard thinking about hitting a home run in the World Series to win the game.
Major League Baseball is proud to honor Derek Jeter for the lasting impact the Turn 2 Foundation has made on youth in communities across the country
He's comfortable ... He's been in those positions before. It's not the first time he's pitched in the World Series. It's not the first time he's won a game. It's not the first time he's pitched on the road. He's been in pretty much every situation you can think of. And he's had success. So he's comforta...
This opportunity will be good for me, you know, to keep working hard with this new era to provide more advice for the children to be better, and when they have the ability, for example, in baseball or any other sport, for them to be a star ... Derek Jeter is a good example of that.
Obviously we're very excited we're in the World Series, but it's nice to get an opportunity to focus on something that really has to do with something more than baseball. It has to do with community work and giving back to the community ... People in our position, they should take advantage of it. They ...
Soccer is the big deal there, but they really love baseball, too ... The kids made me feel like a rock star. It’s not every day they get to meet an American, and they were looking at me like I was Derek Jeter. That made me feel great. The fans there were great, too. Everybody there made me feel right at...
This is a very special day for everyone involved with the Turn 2 Foundation ... Thank you to everyone at Major League Baseball, Chevy, and especially the Clemente family for this recognition. The Steinbrenner family and the Yankees organization have supported my work in the community my entire career, a...
It’s an awfully special record ... I’ve read a lot of the dialogue going on around baseball. But for me, if you polled the great players within the game, whether it’s Derek Jeter or A-Rod or Mark Teixeira, all these guys and you asked them how special that is, I think you’d get a greater appreciation fr...
If we win, then it helps us. If we don't, then he's changed entirely since he went to the National League
One thing I get on Yogi about, man, he would go straight to the World Series ... They didn’t have playoffs. See, that’s unfair. With these different rounds of the playoffs, anything can happen in a short series. You never take for granted that you’re just going to play a season and end up in the World S...

He predicted we'd play them in the World Series about seven years ago, too
He's a lot better than when he first came up (with Cleveland in 2002) because he really knows how to pitch ... When he first came up, he would just rear back and throw and try to get guys out with his stuff. Now, he pitches a lot more. We're going to have our hands full.
It’s a long time and it’s frustrating for everyone ... You set your goal in spring training and pretty much the off-season for one thing: to get to the World Series. When it doesn’t happen, you’re disappointed. It’s not a given.
I know he's really excited ... He's had an outstanding series, and I hope he carries it over into the World Series.
Anaheim has a great team ... Coming into this series, all the talk was how they dominated us over the years and how they are going to be a big problem for us. And then we are up 3-1, lose one game and people say, 'Oh, you wasted the opportunity. What's wrong with the Yankees?' But it's a long series. Th...
I don't think so ... They won the first game in Anaheim, right? And we came right back and won the next game, so I don't really think so. Every game is different. You can say we've got momentum because we scored six runs in the seventh or we had a good last inning. However you want to write the story, I...
