"You have the trophy and you have the rings, and people tend to look at you a little bit differently," said Williams of the trials and tribulations faced as the reigning World Series champion. "They are a little bit more focused when they come out and play you." - Sportswriter Scott Merkin on MLB.com (10/02/2006)
