"It was exactly as I envisioned it being. It was like a dream, a surreal kind of a situation to actually witness it, even though I had pictured it happening exactly the way it did. But an amazing night. It’s just going to be etched in my mind forever. It’s probably the highlight of 40 years for me," he said. [H/T: Sports Illustrated]
