Alex Rodriguez

Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now.

I had the greatest year of my career in 2007. It's a year that I'm very proud of.

The more you play baseball, the less depends on your athletic ability. It's a mental war more than anything.

I'm never happy with my performance.

I've always enjoyed challenges.

My style is not to challenge anything.

I never like to think about going back; I only look forward.

I would like to help out in financial literacy for the Hispanic community and the athletic community.

When I entered the pros, I was a young kid in the major leagues. I was 18 years old, right out of high school. I thought I knew everything, and I clearly didn't.

How can I ever dog Derek Jeter? It's impossible. There is nothing to knock. He's a great defensive player. He's a great offensive player.

I'm part of history.

You get to a point where you get tired of being stupid and selfish and not being honest with yourself.
