That was big. Last year I remember he hit three in a game where (Garner) was ill. ... Maybe I should manage a few more times, because every time he hits a homer.

The best part of my life was here.

He did a real good job. He did contain himself and settled down and pitched well. He used his breaking ball, moved it around, he did a good job.
