I saw a draft of this year's schedule halfway through last year, and you had to see this series right away. The schedule might have been preliminary. But I knew this series wasn't.
That was back when just getting to the World Series was enough.
We spoiled (Steinbrenner) by winning four World Series in five years. But it's certainly worth everything that goes with it.
It's nice to have the opportunity to win every year but it wears on you to know you have to win the World Series for it to be deemed a good year,
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
