“We're just trying to stay focused on Clemson. There have been rumors circling for days. We're just trying to keep our eyes on the prize, which right now is trying to win a ballgame over in Death Valley. That's been where our focus is.”
Rick Minter
“Yes. I wanted to stay. I tried hard. I did whatever was possible to try to win the ballgame.”
Pedro Martinez
“Good ballgame, what can I say?”
Lou Piniella
“They tried to take him right out of the ballgame. To his credit he didn't force it. (His teammates) can't rely on him to do everything. When people see what his teammates can do, they have to decide if you want to play Johnny that way.”
Dan Stolz
“The crowd makes the ballgame.”
Ty Cobb
“I've got an accountability and responsibility to do whatever I can to help this team win a ballgame,”
Clint Hurdle
“Incredible. What a ballgame. I was sitting on a fastball the entire at-bat.”
