The beautiful thing about our game to manage (is) you learn on the job. We've been through all the experiences. You're not asking the players to do something we ourselves haven't done. He'll draw on those experiences, and I think he'll do quite fine.
In terms of the way I played, I was aggressive, foolish at times, maybe the same way as a manager sometimes. But it doesn't really matter. It's what goes on on the field at any given minute, the players have the ball in their hands.
You learn a piece of it basically from everybody that you play for. I would hope that my managerial style is a great deal like Chuck. He's my mentor.
Usually, over the years, I manage to keep the closer pretty well spread out, ... That's not been the case this year.
Chuck continued to manage because he said that's exactly what his mom wanted him to do. He said, 'She wanted me to get to the World Series, but she wanted me to see it through,' and he did.
