Derek Jeter

We had chances, we had opportunities to score and we couldn't come up with hits. You can't give teams extra outs.

We didn't really give them much to cheer about.

It's good because he's always got the same speed with his arm. Same motion. Some guys slow down a little bit, but he doesn't. It looks like a fastball.

Any way you can get it done now. Robbie put down a good bunt to get the runners over. It seems like every at-bat is important at this point in the year.

It's not that hard to figure out. I was always good in math.

Hate Mailer Targets Jeter.

Everyone goes through stretches where they swing the bat well for a couple of weeks. You try to take advantage of it and hope that it lasts as long as possible.

I didn't have any idea. I didn't sit down and read the whole rulebook before I came here.

It wasn't like, 'I'm going to do this to you. I'm going to do that to you'. It was just a stupid letter. I've gotten stupid letters before. That's basically it. Now, for some reason, it's on the front page and it's some big, huge story.

Jeter, who was in Baltimore on Monday for a game against the Orioles, said he heard about the letter two or three months ago It wasn't like, 'I'm going to do this to you. I'm going to do that to you', ... It was just a stupid letter.

Apparently the guy sent stuff to a lot of people and made threats, which is serious, ... My letter, what I was sent, it wasn't a threat.

It's just a stupid letter,

You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

If you're going to win games, you're going to have to come up with the big hits. That's the bottom line.

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

We discussed it briefly for about five minutes and I haven't heard anything else about it, ... It wasn't like a threat or anything like that. It was just a letter from some guy. I haven't even thought about it again.

I think everyone in the ballpark thought that ball was out. I few feet over, and we have the lead.

The atmosphere was great. We had heard there were going to be a lot of fans from Mexico. It was a little more than we thought would be here.

Even when we were behind, we thought we could come back. But we just couldn't hold them. To try to come back, you've got to be able to shut the other team down.

I've never even thought about it. Maybe because I don't have any kids. I know it's a big problem, but I just never thought about it. I've never had any reason to bring awareness (about it) to myself. What Joe is doing is groundbreaking. I think it's a lot harder to be the first person to talk about it. Maybe more people will start because of him.
