Alex Rodriguez Joe Quotations

It took me a little while to realize that Joe knows everything that's going on around here. It might not seem that way, because he's so low-key. But he knows exactly what's going on in the clubhouse and in the dugout. I've never seen a manager that plugged in.

It would have been crushing, ... I know Joe wanted this game very badly.

I kept trying to build up the courage to walk up to him, but I never did, ... He was always in a suit, he looked very serious. It's one of my biggest regrets. I'm Joe D.'s biggest fan.

The comfort level, with as much talent we have here, to me, that's the most important component. It's not really X's and O's. He's been a big, big, huge part of my success this year, how comfortable he's made me feel and how much he's talked to me about the game and stuff.

I don't know what happened. You'd have to ask Joe West.

Both Brian and (manager) Joe (Torre) did the best job they have ever done in their careers to save our season,

Any time you get mentioned with Joe DiMaggio with the rich tradition of the Yankees, you feel humbled,

Any time you can be mentioned with Joe DiMaggio in any sentence, especially in this rich tradition of the Yankees, it makes you feel very humble. It's something that I'm proud of.
