AL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES: YANKEES v MARINERSOctober 20, 2001Stan JavierNEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Game Three Q. What did Lou tell you guys in the pre-game meeting and did that help the team, and second part was have you ever seen a lead-off guy get as many intentionals as Ichiro? STAN JAVIER: First part, I mean, I'm not going to answer that, but it was great. You know, it was good. About Ichiro, he's just a great hitter. I mean, he just puts the ball in play. He's a clutch guy, and, you know what, if I'm the manager against him, I would do the same thing. Q. Could you take us through the catch and the process of tracking that ball down? STAN JAVIER: When he hit it, it was pretty high and gave me enough time to go back to the wall and time it. I saw the wall, and you know, I jumped and made the catch. You know, that's the thing we're always trying to do in batting practice and, you know, I just caught it. Q. Off the bat, did you think it was gone? STAN JAVIER: I knew he hit it pretty good, but Yankee Stadium is pretty large, big left field. Like I said, it gave me enough time. I saw the wind blowing out a little bit and I was playing a little bit deeper than I usually play, but I just, you know, jump and sometimes you jump and it hits off your glove, but that one was -- that one just caught it. Q. You seem to be working awfully hard to delay your retirement. You've had a nice post-season. Could you just talk about that? STAN JAVIER: Well, I hope I can delay it a little longer. (Laughs).
