Quotation from Derek Jeter: "You feel the history every time you walk into Yankee Stadium. twenty-six championships. There are signs all over the place. When we run into Yogi Berra in the clubhouse, that's 10 championship rings right there. Think about that for a minute-10, just as a player. I won four in my first five seasons here, and I thought that was the only way it could be. It's actually pretty hard for most guys even to get one title. "Right now, I do what I can to help the Yankees get that next championship. Everyone expects us to win, and we expect no less of ourselves. With the Yankees, whether it's the fans, the front office, the owner, whatever-we're held to the highest standard. Nobody's tougher on us than we are on ourselves..."I consider myself fortunate to have spent my whole career in pinstripes. When I'm old and retired, I'll probably look back on this time here, and go, 'Wow! That was really something."-Yankees captain Derek Jeter, 2004.
