"I’ll give you another example. We’ve been doing this thing whenever we’re on the road —  I don’t even know how it started — but basically Judge or Rizzo will hit everyone up when we get back to the hotel after a game and it’s like … “team meeting, room 352,” or whatever.

But there is no team meeting. It’s more like — what we do is, we try to pack as many guys together in a single room. And then we all just hang out. That’s it. Nothing crazy happens. Room service, TV, some smack talk, some cracking jokes. It’s pretty boring, I’m sure some people would say. But me? I couldn’t love those times more than I do. For me, that’s what it’s all about right there. And I think that’s a big part of why we’ve had each other’s backs this year, and how we’ve become this unit.

It’s funny, sometimes I’ll be sitting there in those hotel rooms, thinking back on my path to get to the big leagues and everything I’ve put in, and all of a sudden a big smile will appear on my face. Because I’m so happy, you know? Just being a part of it. Hanging with a bunch of guys who are MVPs, Cy Young–caliber guys, world champions, All-Stars, future All-Stars, probably even future Hall of Famers. It’s those guys … and me. Nestor."
