against base bat behind elbow ground hit playing running step
You hit a ground ball, he'll step on your bat running down first base behind you. He'll give you an elbow at first base. He's just like that. Playing against him, you don't like it too much, but when he's on your team, that's a completely different picture.
base clubhouse guys hit home lack looser pressure today took
It wasn't through lack of effort, it was just guys pressing too much. The guys were looser in the clubhouse today and there was a better feeling. Today was more of what we've been doing this year. We got guys on base and we hit some big home runs. That took a lot of pressure off us.

Obviously, it'd mean a lot to fans and baseball historians and stuff like that. But we're not worried about that. We're worried about the 25 guys in here.

associated cares close everybody guys pulled special team teams truly year
That was the special thing about this team: We were a club. The 25 guys we had on this team were as close as any team I have ever been a part of or associated with. Everybody truly cares and pulled for each other all year long. It's something that's very rare; you don't find it very often. And those teams that do have that are special.

I was out of breath. You can't explain this. There was something special going on tonight.
