SEAMANS: You usually have a bit of time when you shoot a home run trot around the bases, so I just looked ahead to see if there was anything interesting for Ortiz to run into. I saw the sign the fan was holding, and just waited for Ortiz to run into it. I covered Ortiz's game-winning home run in the Anaheim series the previous night, and I knew this wasn't the game-winning run, so I figured it wasn't critical to have Ortiz sharp.
