Sometimes a week might go by when I don't think about the (perfect) game, but I don't remember when it happened last.

When it was over, I was so happy, I felt like crying. I wanted to win this one for Casey. After what I did in Brooklyn, he could have forgotten about me and who would blame him? But he gave me another chance and I'm grateful.
Everyone asks how I felt before the perfect game. You never feel bad when you're in the World Series. You've got all winter to rest.
I'll never forget the catch he made to save the game.
