"I put the Polish death grip on it," he said. "When we beat the Yankees I gave the ball to Derek but this one I'm keeping. This one is staying with me."--Doug Mientkiewicz, on the game winning ball.
Unreal. The greatest 11 days in sports history. The greatest comeback followed by the most dominant World Series performance in the history of baseball. 2004, the year. No waiting until next year. No curse. Where did it all come from?
The July 24th mitt to A-rod's face? The September collapse that never came? The arrogance of the Yankees finally accumulating enough bad Karma to sink the Empire? Players really believing in each other, as a team?
Unreal.
