Joe Torre Alex Quotations

So much of baseball is about history and the records. The fans want the records to mean something. If somebody like Alex had the most home runs, there wouldn't be any questions.

This is a very proud moment for him. I'm very pleased with the year he had. He's getting more comfortable here in New York. Alex helped us win so many games, both offensively and defensively, and he continues to improve.

It was down. But Alex was able to get underneath it.

In games that Alex does not contribute with his bat, he's helped us win ballgames, so I think that should be part of the equation. I think it's a part David doesn't have.
