It doesn't show that I have anything torn, by the test that the trainer did to my shoulder. He doesn't seem to think I have anything to worry about. It's just a deep bruise, I guess. We'll see what happens tomorrow. We're going to keep packing it in ice and getting therapy and try to get it going. |
It felt like I was playing in the World Series in March. It's a great feeling. There's something very special about playing for my country, in my hometown, with people saying my name. |
It is a rare opportunity to finish my career with the same team that I started with. I think I am moving toward that direction and it's a good feeling. |
It is weird. You know going in, that this isn't going to last. In a little while, we'll return to our teams and it'll be back to normal. |
It was a very emotional moment. I never dreamed I would experience something like that. |
It was just amazing - people chanting my name, I was kind of like the sentimental favorite, the older guy on the team. I'm glad I did it and hopefully I'll hang around enough to perhaps do it again. |
It was like he got in some sort of zone and everything seemed to flow for him. I remember hitting something hard off him my first time up and then I couldn't hit anything. |
It was more whether or not I was going to retire or not as opposed to playing for another team. I didn't want to have any doubts. I really wanted to give myself a chance to retire as a Yankee. |
It will probably be a more complicated role than an everyday player. |
It will probably be a more complicated role than being an everyday player at a set position. If I look at it that way, I think it will be more of a challenge for me. |
It's going to be a great experience playing with all of these guys. I've played with or against these players most of my career. But it's been a while with some. I haven't played with Delgado since 1995. |
It's not a casual thing for the fans here anymore. Before, people came halfway through the game and left by the seventh inning, no matter the score. It's a credit to the front office that they have put a winning team on the field, and the people are interested in what happens. |
It's one of my biggest hobbies. I started when I was 8 years old. Then I went to music high school in Puerto Rico. We had a regular curriculum, but with an emphasis on music. |
It's time to reflect on the season. |
It's too early to say that. The year is full of surprises. I could be on the bench all year, I might play more than I ever anticipated or somewhere in the middle. I have to keep my mind open. |
