"It's great what he's (Bernie Williams) accomplished, but I think it's tough to compare with the eighteen home runs (Mickey) Mickey hit in the World Series. His (Williams) counts all of the postseason and he got more opportunities. Not that Bernie's numbers aren't terrific, but I think there should be separate categories." - New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre in the Daily News (Peter Botte, 10/22/2003)
