I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.

- Derek Jeter

The Dodgers to me are the Yankees of the National League.

- Joe Torre

As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.

- Joe Torre

I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

- Joe Torre

When I was growing up, the first thing I wanted to be was a cowboy. That lasted till I was about ten. Then I wanted to be a baseball player. Preferably shortstop for the New York Yankees.

- Jerry Spinelli

Put two Yankees in a room together, and in an hour they will each have gained ten dollars from the other.

- Jules Verne

I became a Yankees fan for a few years. But now, I gotta say, I'm really rooting for the Red Sox.

- Jimmy Fallon

Owning the Yankees is like owning the Mona Lisa.

- George Steinbrenner

OK, he's a Yankees fan. Now I know why I don't like him.

- Dave Winer

I'm still a huge Yankees fan. Growing up, Jeter was my guy, but Bernie Williams was my favorite player.

- Action Bronson

The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.

- Derek Jeter

People grow up loving the Yankees and will tell you, and so many people despise the Yankees, and they come from all over the United States.

- Curtis Granderson

So to get to play for the Yankees was really exciting. Really exciting.

- Bert Campaneris

I loved the opportunity to play for the Yankees, too.

- Bert Campaneris

It's not good or bad, but closers have changed things. I don't think you are going to win a World Series without one. Where would the Yankees be without Mariano Rivera?

- Bruce Sutter

I've been a Yankees fan since I was six.

- Bob Kerrey

Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.

- Bob Feller

We can't do the same things the Yankees do. Given the economics, we'll lose.

- Billy Beane

I'm a Laker fan, always have been. And the New York Yankees, for sure.

- Antonio Sabato, Jr.
