It was an absolute joy coming back to the organization that I started in. I hadn't experienced a meaningful relief role since 1993, when I came back from some injuries and was basically setting up for Duane Ward in the postseason.
More Quotes from Al Leiter:
Any time, if there's a little offense happening, a double play to end the inning late in a game, ... the game being as close as it was, it certainly set us up.Al Leiter
I'm aware, like everyone else is aware, at this time of year, you do anything you can. It doesn't matter what position anybody on any playoff team has served you do what you can. In my case, I'll do whatever.

This is one of the main reasons why I wanted to come back. I like the idea of the Classic, so instead of squashing the idea and talking about all of the concerns in a negative light, why not look at this in terms of being something good for the game

This is exciting, ... I've been lucky. I've had a career where every organization I've played for has always put together a team that's really legitimate and had a chance of winning coming out of Spring Training every year.

I think there's a lot of variables and factors. Obviously, I've got to feel good, feel healthy. I have to feel as though the way I'm throwing the ball is good and effective. I have to know that if I am feeling good and throwing the ball with quality pitches, I have to feel I'm wanted or needed by the organization.

It feels good to be able to go out on your own terms. I love the game very much, but when you were a certain type of player for a few years, being a front-end starter, that's the way I still think I can pitch. But the body tells you no. It feels right. Family, kids, I'm constantly being asked when I'm coming home.
