E. B. White Signed Quotations

I - and I think many other observers - thought Ichiro would be the one to say no and Hideki would say yes. I think he's grateful to (George) Steinbrenner for the new contract and the confidence in him. He feels more of an obligation to Steinbrenner than he does to Japan. It's not about the money, it's about the vote of confidence. I think he thought it would be rude to leave the team in spring training. If he hadn't just signed the contract, maybe he would have gone.

I explained to the judge that the form I signed said I had 15 days to get my money back. She allowed me to file for another hearing. I have another court date for Oct. 20. But now, I'm kind of skeptical about riding up and down 79th Street. Any vehicle with rims is going to get pulled over.

Has the Big East been an enormous challenge this year? It has, but that's exactly what we signed on for.
