"I guess you'd like me to tell you why I did so well in the World Series. I guess you'd like an explanation. It was the power of prayer. When I stepped into the batter's box in the World Series, thousands of people were praying for me and wishing me well. I like to think this is one of the reasons I do so well in World Series play. I like to think it is the fundamental reason."
