And from the quotatious Nick Swisher:
“You dream about stuff like that,” Nick Swisher said. “I wasn’t even the guy who hit it, and I was jumping up and down going crazy. For Raul, I could not be more happy for him, man. You gotta be pro to step up in a situation like that. Especially pinch hitting, come up against a guy like Johnson, and then to just get that one pitch — because he doesn’t give you that many pitches to hit — and then he comes up in the 12th inning, and he goes Jack City again! You can’t script something like that.”
Added Eric Chavez:
“(This game) is my best baseball moment in my whole career, without a doubt,” Chavez said. “…There’s not even a close second.”
Feel good, friends. Last night was a good night.
Yes it was. Thanks for the quotes. Was great seeing Raul do it, was great to see the entire team respond.
and it has to be awfully bittersweet for all three of the guys – what are the odds that any of them will be in pinstripes next year?
I dunno, I think we're getting to the point where it may be Swisher over Granderson given Granderson's near total disappearance down the stretch…
I think we bring back chavy. He waited for the yanks to sign him last year and if he's willing to play, I don't see why not. Swish, if he's willing to take less money than on the open market, would be nice also. I could see this however, being rauls swan song and possibly calling it a career.
