Going, Going, Gomes

The Red Sox reach the World Series "going to the 'ship" with skill and grit. An article about Jonny Gomes contains the following:

"To be the clubhouse guy with the spark, you still have to perform. You can't just be a rodeo clown in the clubhouse and then go and strike out three or four times, or not run the bases hard. You've got to create an identity. You've got to create a culture. You've got to have accountability to what you stress or what you preach. You've got to do that and you can't take a day off from doing that."

The message is that everyone can have a role, but teams must pull in the same direction to achieve team goals.
