“The greatest thrill I have had while competing is playing in the 1996 World Series. On Saturday night, we played a very tough game against a very good team (The Tribe) and it seemed like there were thousands of people watching us. It was a nerve racking come from behind victory but I will never forget that game as the turning point for the entire World Series.”
