"What I really care about is right now. I think if you don't, you're cheating some people. There will be a time some time [to reflect], and that's great. But I get so afraid of not enjoying the moment. Sometimes the moment is not that much fun but I love doing what we're doing. I really do. I get so caught up in these games that I don't want to not get caught up in them. Concerning myself with what happened two weeks ago or next year or how people view me ... I just want us to win." - Boston Red Sox Manager Terry Francona (MLB.com, Ian Browne, 09/29/2008) |
