The repository contains one quote from John Kruk.
After the Phillies scored eight runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to win a game:
We’re losing by eight runs, and all I’m thinking about at that point is getting back to the hotel by midnight because that’s when room service closes. All of a sudden we start getting hits and more hits, and I’m saying, “I’m not going to make it.” If you’re not going to get room service you might as well win.
