Quotable:
“As a columnist, you really do follow your emotions and because deadline is always there, ticking down, you don’t take time to think WHY you are feeling one way or another. All I really knew was that the Musial idea suddenly felt kind of flat to me. I considered writing about something else — Greinke’s two strikeout inning, the brutal intentional walk — but the game really didn’t provide much else that was interesting. And then, it hit me that while I really didn’t want to write about the ceremony I did want to write about Musial and the emotion of seeing him come out in the car. That was important to me. And it was a nice moment. And so that was the column I wrote. I didn’t mention anything about the odd feeling I had about the whole thing. I just wrote about Musial and about it being the best moment of the night, which it still was.
All of which takes me to that moment when Bernie said, “That Musial thing was sad,” and it was as if he voiced that little voice that had been nagging all night. Bernie immediately brought my own feelings to the surface, my feelings that — in a quiet way — Stan Musial had been shortchanged again.” – Joe Posnanski
