"We'd (2008 Kansas City Royals) have our differences but in the end, we all kind of jelled together, battled through together and had each other's backs. That's a plus. That had to be in place for us to take a step forward anyway, and that happened now rather than later, so, hopefully, we can be the winning part of that next year." - Kansas City Royals Catcher John Buck on MLB.com (Dick Kaegel, 09/29/2008) |
