Quotes From Zimmer
"I can't begin to recite all the things that went right for us in winning those four world championships, things that just as easily could have gone wrong. In baseball, the postseason is a crap shoot, especially that best-of-five first round. Anything can happen and the hot team may win - as was the case with the Angels in 2002."
