"It couldn't have been a better guy. Oh my gosh. I mean, you're talking about the ultimate team guy. He is willing to do whatever it takes to help this team win. When he wasn't getting his playing time, he went to the coaches and said hey, how can I help out? They talked to him and he did everything they asked him to do. For him to get that home run to tie it up, brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it."
"When you play the game right, when you treat people right, when you're a teammate like Miguel is, the game honors you. To come up with that moment when you're 36 years old, when you're saying you're going to retire after next season, to have that moment in World Series Game 7? Just absolutely incredible."
"That's something that I'm always going to say - that is my main motivation. It's not about me getting money or getting the right deal or anything like that. It's like keeping this core together for one more year and give us an opportunity to three-peat. I think that's the biggest motivation for me right now. It's no"
