    View quote in context »
    It was a huge play at the time and if the Yankees come back and beat the Phillies, Teixeira's homer, off the previously untouchable Martinez, will be just as large in the re-telling. "We hadn't done much all Series and Pedro was pitching great. We tip our hats to him ... But I think the home run got the crowd back into it. It evened the game and hopefully gave A.J. (Burnett) some confidence that we were actually going to score for him. They had pitched so well for two games and for us to get a run and then (Hideki Matsui, with a go-ahead solo), his home run was just huge for our confidence." Fans who see only dollar signs will spy Teixeira, his $180 million (U.S.) free-agent contract, and make up their minds right there about him. Full Article at Toronto Star
