extremely indoor moments series similar
That was the first World Series in an indoor stadium, so it was kind of a novelty. It was extremely loud. We've had very, very similar moments here where you can actually feel it on your body.
legs outfield standing
I don't know if the at-bats are as important as just standing out there in the outfield for the whole game. That's how you get your legs back.
glad sad saw smiles time
It's just a weird, sad feeling. Every time I saw him, he was the same guy. He made me smile. He made me laugh. He made me feel good. I was always glad to see him.

He has a knack of making a really big pitch at the right time, ... He had the bases loaded, came up and threw a curveball -- it wasn't a great curveball -- and got the guy to hit it to second base hard.

You know that the true test comes when things are not going good. He went through that here.

His smile was just infectious, and that's how he played, too. He was one of those guys that it was always good to see him.
batting close full looks practice seen speed
In that regard, it's very important for him to take as close to a full speed batting practice as he can. It looks like he's able to do that now, and I've never seen that before from him.

It's been a great ballpark for everybody the fans and players yet it's probably time for something new when you see it the way we see it. There's a lot of great memories here.
best certain exactly good happened late mention team
There are times when you mention certain things that happened from your experience, but you just don't go out and say blah, blah, blah, this is how it is, ... I've told them that we were not very good on the road, and we were very good at home, especially late in ballgames. We weren't the best team in baseball. We weren't the best team in the American League, but we got into the tournament, and we got hot. That's exactly what this team has done here.
