It's a great article. This exchange between Hinch and Springer after WS Game 1 is perfect:
Hinch sent Springer a text:
It's not about the 0 for 4 or the strikeouts. It's about you going out and having fun and enjoying the best time of your baseball life because you never know if you're going to get back here. I've got your back. You're going to hit first tomorrow and set the tone for our team.
Springer, the World Series MVP who hit five homers and drove in seven runs over the next six games, responded immediately:
I'll be there for you.
