"There wasn't a whole lot that was easy. We (2005 Boston Red Sox) went through so much and it was sometimes so hard to be good. As important as the game is today, when word filters down and you see the scoreboard changing, it is hard not to feel emotional." - Boston Red Sox Manager Terry Francona on MLB.com (Ian Browne, 10/02/2005)
