When I got through, Duke Ellington stood up and started the applause.

He made me look good. I just stood on the sideline. I think we all got caught up in just watching him.

I started CPR on him and he came back.

As soon as they announced us as the winners we stood up and we started walking to the stage and there was dead silence, there was no applause. It was weird, but it was really awesome.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
