What more could you hope for?

One of things I've loved seeing this year is how much the Red Sox veterans have been interacting with the rookies. When Curt Schilling came off the mound in the seventh the camera showed him sitting next to Josh Beckett and explaining what he done in the previous inning. When Papelbon struck out Ichiro in the ninth the Seattle announcers said that Schilling had taught Papelbon that pitch last year. How about Willy Mo being called "Little Papi" in regards to how much he follows his fellow countrymen around and is trying to learn from him. When I tuned into the Yankee game I saw Randy Johnson sitting on the bench and not talking to anyone. I think he represents the Yankees because their entire attitude seems to be that no one can be as good as us. If you want to know why the Yankees don't have many if any good homegrown players (Wang and Cano aren't that good) that's one of the reasons why.
