Joe Crede Game Quotations

I'd do it all over again for this one night. That's the game in baseball -- not how you start, how you finish.

That's the thing about this game is to be in the right place at the right time. I was fortunate to be in this situation where I could do something to help us win. I was able to put enough good wood on the ball and put it in play and get a hit out of it.

We knew it would be a tight game the whole way, ... You just don't play for a blowout. You always play for the close game. We were playing aggressive style defense out there.

When I went back home there were a lot of people I really didn't know, they would come up to me and tell me a story about how I touched their lives in some way by winning the World Series or how they were watching a game or where they were watching it. To me, I like that stuff. It's neat to hear people's stories and I had a lot of fun with it.

You got the nerves and butterflies going in and you know what, the game starts and you calm yourself down and realize you got a job to do, and that's to go out and win a ballgame,

I'm not going to risk that situation if it's a close game in the bottom of the ninth inning and I can't do what I need to do. That's hurting the team.

He's not going to change for anybody. No matter how many arguments you have with the guy or he has with a guy, he's going to stay the same ? and play the game his way.
