Ninety nine times out of 100, there's no way I even put that ball in play. Somehow, it hit the barrel of my bat. I don't know why I hit it, or how it happened.

Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play.

We hit the ball much better in this game.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

I had an opportunity to play in the World Series and actually play in a game and get meaningful at-bats. To be in that situation . . . it didn't sink in until I got home and sat down.

You play against Boston, the defending world champion. New York is the 26-time world champions. [The Angels], they just won the World Series two years ago. We should be kind of under the radar. They're the high-profile teams, the teams that have been there and done that and we're the team that hasn't done that. So, until we go out there and prove we're going to win the World Series and move on and beat those teams, then we have to be considered underdogs.
