It isn’t the best quality (considering I recorded it with my camera, off of a tv, while drinking champagne and crying…) but it’s absolutely worth watching. Especially if you haven’t seen it yet!
And my apologies to those of you who can’t access YouTube from work. Here’s a transcription of what you’re missing.
Don Orsillo is interviewing Tim Wakefield and Mike Timlin approaches, puts his arm around Wake and looks right into the camera:
"I just want to say one thing. This guy right here… this win is for this man right here. (Wake shakes his head ‘no’) Because he was not on the roster and he showed so much heart by saying ‘I can’t be on the roster’ and it was ‘good for the team’. This is what kind of person is standing right here. I love this guy I’m proud of this guy…It’s the hardest thing to do, to take yourself out of the game for someone else, but he did it and I’m proud of him."
Wake then says "Thanks, man" and they hug.
I still cry every time I see it.
