The Phiten necklaces from Andrew McCutchen earlier this season were one thing, his fiery and emotional speech last night was something completely different. I just surveyed the locker room and asked a few different players what type of impact it had on their play tonight and got some great answers. I'll leave you with this quote from Spencer Horwitz:
"He's an icon in the sport, he's got all the accolades and all the respect throughout the game, his words hold weight. To see him that fired up last night, definitely gave me goosebumps and I know it got a bunch of guys going."
