"The thing that concerned me the most was not winning the World Series and having someone look down their nose at what we accomplished (125 wins) this year. I think that's where the pressure came from." - New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre in The Times (Trenton, NJ : October 22, 1998) |

Darryl Strawberry, who was battling cancer and could not play, said to the New York Times after winning Game 4, "It means the world to me being part of what this team was all about this season. Being healthy and watching them win last night was one of the greatest moments in my life."
Did you know that you can order an "original" print copy of this same box score from Baseball Almanac? The print source might be USA Today Baseball Weekly, The Sporting News, New York Times, Cleveland Plain Dealer, or other similar sources. Regardless, it will look great framed on your wall.
Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
