Bob Ryan, Boston Globe on Bernie Williams

• He's very often been at his best when it counts the most. Williams is the all-time postseason leader in home runs (22), runs (83), and runs batted in (80). In 11 postseasons, he has failed to hit at least one home run only in 1997 and 2005. The Yankees may have lost the 2003 World Series, but it had nothing to do with Williams, who hit .400 (10 for 25) with two homers, five RBIs, and five runs. Admit it. Bernie Williams almost takes all the fun out of hating the Yankees.
