“When things go well, people like everything you do. When things don't go well, people look for 1,001 explanations, and they don't understand you're a human being.”

“I have gone above and beyond to care for my child, including an agreed upon monthly stipend, a house, a car, insurance, school and other essentials for the baby and his mother as well as many other things, including toys and clothing.”

“I don't think I'm a home run hitter. Most of my home runs are line drives. If I hit it, thanks God. But it's not the kind of thing that I think about. I just go out there and try to have a better season than I had before. Home runs are not in my mind.”

“I'm always trying to be a better player every year and also improve myself.”

“Playing in New York is special to me because you are surrounded by so many communities and a strong Latin community, including the Washington Heights neighborhood. I come to Washington Heights for real Dominican food that reminds me of my hometown, and it's a great place to visit.”

“The first thing I learned from Jeter is to be the same no matter if you are doing good or bad. It is kind of like, play hard every day, and don't take anything for granted.”

“A lot of people think I just came to this game to make the money and go home. I love this game. I play because I love it.”

“I feel thankful for the Seattle organization and the city. The fans embraced me right away, and I had a great time there.”

“For me, baseball is everything.”

“I would say for a team to win, you don't need big names. You just need the right pieces.”

“I spend more time in New York than the Dominican. I play here, I live here, so why not become a citizen?”

“You're only going to get better when you work hard and you focus on what you're doing.”

“I always loved playing in New York, where the Yankees fans expect a winning team every year.”

“I have so much passion for the game.”

“We all make mistakes. There is always someone out there making a mistake.”

“When you're gonna get married, it's all about your heart.”

“My grandma used to pitch to me. Hit rocks with a broomstick.”

“I play this game to win.”

“One of the best things is to be able to go to the playoffs and win a championship. After you taste the first one, you want to go back every year.”

“Although playing baseball is my biggest passion, the help my foundation has been able to provide people over the years makes me very proud.”
