Joe Maddon's words of wisdom on the most recent t-shirt for this charity - Respect90. I've already ordered mine. So many times we get caught up in the end result that we forget about the people involved - the heartbeat. This is a tremendous reminder that its not all about the numbers, its about the heartbeat.
Joe's Take
“I think in our game today, the way it’s run on a lot of levels, it’s more about math than people sometimes... I want our guys to understand that we understand the heartbeat around here, so don’t forget the heartbeat.
We won that game (Game 7) purely because of competitive natures and the fact that we wanted to win and the heartbeat was so good. It has nothing to do with statistical information, mechanics physically. It had everything to do with people.
And I really want our guys to understand that, because we’re going to do all the other necessary work. We’re going to do all the math work. We’re going to do all the physical work. We’re going to do all the work. But at the end of the day, man, (when it’s) a different uniform than you, you compete. You try to beat that guy in the other uniform. Don’t forget that."
