Derek Jeter's Quotes
- God, I hope I wear this jersey forever
- If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
- You forget about it whether it was 15-2 or 3-2. It's still a loss. It doesn't matter what the score was if we win tomorrow
- For all of us up here, it's a huge honor to put this uniform on every day and come out here and play. And every member of this organization, past and present, has been calling this place home for eighty-five years. There's a lot of tradition, a lot of history, and a lot of memories. Now the great thing about memories is you're able to pass it along from generation to generation. And although things are going to change next year, we're going to move across the street, there are a few things with the New York Yankees that never change - its pride, its tradition, and most of all, we have the greatest fans in the world.And we are relying on you to take the memories from this stadium, add them to the new memories that come at the new Yankee Stadium, and continue to pass them on from generation to generation. So on behalf of the entire organization, we just want to take this moment to salute you, the greatest fans in the world.
- [on LeBron James] Most people in LeBron's position aren't as grounded as he is. He hasn't forgotten where he comes from and he's given back so much to Ohio and Akron, his hometown. He never takes a rest, on any play. His all-out effort is what stands out when you watch him. Whether his team is up 20 or down 20, LeBron is playing like it's Game 7 of the NBA finals.
