"We've (the 2005 New York Mets) matured and grown, and we've learned a lot of things about ourselves as a team, and the bottom line is we played hard all year. We didn't stop playing, and that's something I'm most proud of. When you have young players who are some of the core of your team, you can look to the future. When you add some pieces, that can be really special." - New York Mets Manager Willie Randolph on MLB.com (Ben Couch, 10/02/2005)
