Let's talk about the team highlight. The World Series. I mean I guess we saw that common it was a great game. You know wonderful leadership at the top. But a nice blend but that magical run I -- you guys picked up momentum and you must have felt like it -- mean we're just playing great baseball you can hire the right time.

Exulted you felt that in September reflect coming in every series going and we've taken two out of three are sweeping teams and you can just feel the momentum building flu season was over its obviously a new season. But I think everybody still had that feeling you know we're still playing great baseball for not thinking about the World Series of things in my V that night and I we took there was some pretty much ran through the playoffs what do you remember about the first playoff series and an and the Yankees what sticks out within your mind there. Well I mean highlight of my favorite place to play so I mean what better place to play you first playoff game itself I just enjoy electricity in that stadium. You know I'm not really silly that we we conclude those guys we want to worry about losing the first game. So we just went there and now we want to play our game and now we did.

You -- a minute and answer -- here it's crazy I think baseball more than any other sport. History the hope is so important and I mean everybody Yankee Stadium for God's sake got a little -- you in the middle everybody good luck to everybody yeah.

You know I don't think there's anybody on -- team will forgive us. You know the electricity goes in this stadium you Legos of the playoffs every year it's our first time we get caught up in advice you know still I think kind of raises your level game --

B Minnesota now and now we're going around the World Series game six just ridiculous stuff. Thank you and I mean that that's when you realize maybe -- this -- yeah. We love and Jazeera Al you're located but we did that stuff there I'm all year look circumstances always change your perception and -- we did that all season long and we came back on people. I am no word that the American was yeah and let's not forget in the big hitting game seven but. That was I don't know yeah I got really bad that I mean that said that kind of solidified that problem.

say that at bat was probably about where. As as a hitter who you want to look for in a situation because it really don't have anywhere to put you. Whereas in him off base is open and are what nine you know they make you catch chase after their -- in a sense well I think early in the game and we had to come at me he couldn't. Mess around too much because you know new order was coming up so I'll. I just looked out over you know I wasn't worried about what pitch it was anything it was in my favor if anything has his -- and swing more than my.

She won that game is introducing us talking to Jerry west recently about a week or so ago and he had so many. Championship disappointments is this look at it as a young player and they finally beat. The New York Knicks with a guy with his Laker team he's had to settle there as I mean it was sort of anti climactic. How do you feel when you won the World Series was it everything you thought it was going to be there how was it.

product phenomena answer that's isn't on the kid that didn't for any team itself. Thomas they come in the same lines -- him when people ask me about it I usually share with them that the journey was more fun than the actual outcome you know in the win you know let's us cleaning from -- but those memories stay with -- just the journey of every game every pitch that that's what what's fun that's what I remember.

He you don't -- seeing it now most guys say winning easy game. Dean with a group of guys can get stuff accomplished with a group of guys that -- just saying is that I think that this -- how would you that's what's -- and that's what's fun that's what stays with you. When you see those guys in the future you know hey that guy we want to battle we. We did some special those are things that you remember. -- home run derby champions. What was that word -- from becoming another all -- at all watching it. Cormier and do our pinnacle I don't know hadn't noticed that -- going to do -- that's close to do anything about it and -- when asked me do -- I think like sure I'll do that you know I have a problem hitting home runs and batting practice but it was fun you know this is something else experience in you know high and I think every player wants experience something different in their careers. Whether it be a post season all star game home run derby. All players want to experience that they want to have their time -- and such a team going to sports so I welcome that opportunity you know this is a great story I never talk down about it and Adam Kennedy you have when he hits three home runs against Minnesota -- was on a horrible PP just couldn't that they at all he went out there and Jack three out did you realize it did you feel like you're in the zone before that -- obviously I would say during the batting practice I was trying to find the swing that was going to use sportscast and the the last round entirely eclipsed. What type of swing I was going to do what what was going to be successful for me just -- model -- offense. You know on easy -- an easy swing and you know I'm not only lost game some advice before I left he said just don't swing hard -- you do. And I took that advice and I didn't you know I don't. But not a fan of bison now found swing in I had a perfect BP -- he kept in Fed ex catcher and -- out. Catchers have a best BP he kept on and in the same spot every time so it was basically me. My fault wanted to go over -- did also a -- please take -- yes he -- try to -- it. If it's just that the very guys who have long run that I have went down -- it could go to the crusade with Danielle can you top it off of course you win the MVP in the game yeah. Crazy great weekend was RA weekend Manny Ramirez didn't go to an all star game -- here so guess who gets the start -- managers in the does manage in the team you know I get to not play left field -- and it's just take advantage of the opportunity
