I can get more accomplished staying back here, being able to hit every inning. Just get some more game-time at-bats rather than going to Atlanta. It's a more controlled environment where I don't really have to go all out, somewhat test and see where we stand.
I got a good pitch to hit and I drove it out,
It all seems surreal, ... It was a long, tough road, but I learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way. I struggled and hit a lot of obstacles in the road, but I think those times only made me a stronger person.
It will be a tough home run to top, given the timing and when and where it happened. I don't hit too many home runs, no less a walk-off home run in the World Series.
I recall standing out in left field after Paul did what he did, thinking about, man, what does that man feel like now? ... So to go out and hit one out of the ballpark for a game-winner is pretty indescribable.
