"Not a lot of people are going to remember that play, but everyone in here realizes that's why we won this game." - Mark Ellis, who was able to hit a walk-off home run in the 10th inning in the game on May 7, 2008 only after Jack Hannahan's hard slide broke up a probable double play in the 8th which instead turned into a run-scoring single out that tied the game
