Greatness is a mindset rather than an ultimate goal

You talk about the name Greatness Wins. I think a lot of times people look at greatness and they think it's an ultimate goal. I look at it as a mindset, you know, so I look at having that mindset and anything that you want to achieve.

Inherently subjective philosophical take on success.

Yankee fans only care about what players do in the postseason to earn their pinstripes

You gotta do it in the playoffs. At least now you have to do it in the playoffs. Because there's this level of expectations that come with playing for the Yankees... Yankee fans pay attention to what you do in the postseason. They can pretty much care less [about the regular season].

Reflects the cultural reality of the Yankees fan base and organization.

Wade Boggs and Tony Gwynn might not have had long careers in today's analytics-driven MLB

Man, you just go through the Hall of Fame and just think of how many players because of Launch Angle and exit velocity probably would've never had a long career. Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn... The job was to get a hit and get on base.

While hypothetical, it highlights the shift in player valuation in the modern era.
