Oct. 14 Jeff Banister pregame interview

Q. In a game like today, you obviously have a lot of leaders in that clubhouse, but do you turn to guys like Cole or Napoli who have been on the biggest stage of all, won it all, to provide maybe an even keel of some sort?

JEFF BANISTER: Yes, and that's a great assessment of our clubhouse and the players that we have, the experience level of where we're at, because we do range from first-year players to future Hall of Famers. So to have guys that have been in this scenario before, these type of situations, to bring some levity to the situation is, I think, very instrumental.
