At Nighttime, You Just Try To Keep

I've Always Noticed How The Fenway Fans Get Behind The Pitcher, Especially Late In The Game If You're Having A Good Game, Or If You Have Two Strikes On A Hitter, They Really Start To Chant And Anticipate A Strikeout. And That's The Best Part About Playing In Boston And At Fenway. There Are Knowledgeable Fans Who Anticipate The Flow Of The Game And They Can Really Help Out The Pitcher.

Today Baseball Is Currently Enjoying A Run Of More Than 14 Years Without Interruption, A Record That Would Have Been Inconceivable In The 1990s.

This Is The Place To Be. Baseball Town. The Intimacy Of Fenway, The Toughness Of It. I Like That. I'm Used To It. I Need It. If I Went Somewhere Else, It Might Have Been A Bit Of A Letdown. I Like The Edge.

I Love Being Out There On The Mound With The Ball In My Hand. I Can Control The Game. I'm Out There. No Clock - Nothing Happens Until I Throw That Thing. Nothing Happens. I Love That Feeling.

We Just Kind Of Relied On Written Scouting Reports Through The Eighties And Even The Early Nineties. I've Really Been Amazed By Some Of The Data That's Out There, Especially With Regards To Tendencies Of Hitters, And Certainly Tendencies Of Pitchers As Well. I Would Have Loved To Have Gotten That Data When I Played.
