Just got a fastball out over the plate and did what I wanted to do. I think the ball was carrying. I think the wind was bouncing off the stands and sending the ball back out.
Our focus is to get out and win series.
We're trying to win series. You feed off everything, and we're all doing well. It's an all-around team effort.

A couple of guys could have got it. We all worked hard to do whatever we could to help this team win and guys came up with big hits in a lot of situations. And it's just special for me to be thought of as MVP.

It brings back memories. I think it's something you may think about every now and then. It's something I'll never forget and at the same time, it's another season and I just have to get ready.
