Getting to say you're going to the World Series is a pretty special thing.
I am old enough to remember every Red Sox season since 1975. Baseball is long. Baseball takes forever. It's day in, day out, for six solid months - seven if you're lucky. Winning is always fun.
I feel like, by now, if you don't understand that the playoffs can be somewhat of a crapshoot sometimes, then you don't watch enough baseball.
The best possible thing in baseball is winning The World Series. The second best thing is losing The World Series.
I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.
October baseball is what it's all about.
When I was a kid in New York, long before saturation sports coverage, the world heavyweight championship was, with the baseball World Series, the great national event.
Who knows how many times I'm going to get to go to the World Series? I know more than anybody how hard it is to get there.
What pitching is in a short series in baseball, goaltending is in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
A World Series trophy is a wonderful thing to behold.
I didn't realize it was October until I saw the Chicago Cubs choking.
Tell you the truth, the night before, I don't sleep. It's exciting to be in postseason, you fight one-hitter 62 games, you make it.
That's what it's all about - postseason baseball.
I had an opportunity with Baltimore to make it to the World Series, and that didn't happen.
My favorite event each year is the Yankees-Red Sox series. Love seeing passions run hot among the fans, especially when both teams are in the running for the playoffs.
In baseball 30 days is an eternity.
My first year in baseball, there were only one or two reporters. My second year, I got to the Triple-A playoffs, there were four or five. When I came up in 1984, I never saw so many people.
We know how hard it is to make the World Series; to do it two years in a row is really special. I know how lucky I am to be a part of it two years in a row.
