Ozzie Smith just made another play that I've never seen anyone else make before, and I've seen him make it more often than anyone else ever has.

Thomas is racing for it, but McCovey is there and can't get his glove to it. That play shows the inexperience, not on Thomas' part, but on the part of Willie McC ... well, not on McCovey's part either.

I don't mean he missed him, but he just didn't get him when he put the tag on him.

At the end, excitement maintained its hysteria.

All the Padres need is a fly ball in the air.

It was a death struggle every day being a Yankee you either won or you lost. There was no second place. Half of us were nuts by the end of a season.

Over the course of a season, a miscue will cost you more than a good play.
