I think it's the atmosphere, it's everything involved with the Yankees and Yankee Stadium.

I don't think I see myself (as a DH) now. Anything can happen. There are a lot of variables involved. I broke spring training as a DH last year, I guess -- I didn't know that then -- and the majority of the games I played (were) in the field and I made the all-star team.

Facing the 'Rocket' is like playing the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. You know you better bring you're 'A' game.

Yankee Stadium. Things go on here. You can write a book about it.

I don't even remember facing him. I think I might have faced him once when I got traded in 2003. He can do what he does. I'm going to make my living regardless of what he says or what he does. I never met the guy, so I don't even care. If he's going to do that, it just makes him look bad.

You're always surprised. You never know what's gonna happen at Yankee Stadium.
