“One day I was driving from my house to the stadium . . . and I saw a big sign on the street that said, ’Keep the faith.’ And I saw it was a photo of Manny, it had the big smile. I just parked in front of the photo and I just sat down for a minute and just thought about it, you know, we’ve been through the whole year. Then I went to the field and I just expressed myself to my teammates about what the Boston nation has been waiting for us and what they expect from us. So it doesn’t matter if we are down 3-0. We just have got to keep the faith . . . because the game is not over till the last out.”
—David Ortiz, after winning Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS with a walk-off homer.
