Harvard Business School alumni magazine editor and die-hard Boston fan GARRY EMMONS, from a Boston Globe interview in the Sept. 19, 2001 edition; the day before, the Red Sox played the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in their first game after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01.

New York Yankees general manager BRIAN CASHMAN, asking reporters to get in touch with retired Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones; the Yankees have defensive holes to fill at first- and third base.
Hey while you’re at it can you Tweet at Greg Maddux, too?

I’m going to use them well this year.
Yankees closer MARIANO RIVERA, on the final pitches he’ll throw for New York. The all-time major league saves leader is retiring after this season. :-(
