best field game good last played player
He's done it for years so good and so effortlessly. To me, he's the best player in the game. Having him on the field makes us that much better, and if it is his last year, to say you've played with the best player in the game is special.

There aren't many players you can build a team around. I see Brian as one. Teams are looking for those guys. When you already have one . . .
home share start
He'll get his share of home runs. He'll start to roll.
fourth luxury obviously pencil steve teams
Steve Finley, having him as a fourth outfielder is a luxury that a lot of teams don't have. Obviously he's not a fourth outfielder but that's what you have to pencil him in as.
best kept pitcher team
He didn't have his best stuff, but he still kept his team in the game. If you have a young pitcher like that, that's really valuable.
almost good head throw took
He can throw a good one. He almost took my head off today. I didn't know where it was going. But in a game? He'd get killed. It's one thing to play catch. It's another thing to pitch.

We have some special 40-year-olds here. We don't have the normal 40-year-olds that can't run around.

We hang in there. It hasn't always been fun. It hasn't always been pretty. But we've answered every challenge. We stayed on top. We deserve to be division champions.

What we've got to do is bring the magic of May to October. We did it once. Who knows?
amazed channel focus places teammates trade
That's the thing we focus on as teammates in the dugout. We're amazed that he can channel that out as well as he does. At times, it can get real vicious. I wouldn't want to trade places with him, I can tell you that.
definitely great people sets
I don't look at it like other people say, like it's a distraction. You kidding? It's great to have him around. It definitely sets the tone.
best fans game last opportunity player
If it is his last year, having the opportunity to play with the best player in the game is pretty special, when you think about it. We're his teammates, but we're fans of what he does.
