It was Game 7 of the World Series. It was winner-take-all. Two teams were trying to end historic World Series droughts.

Spectators, coaches and players were bound to be nervous.

Chicago Cubs All-Star first baseman Anthony Rizzo summed it up perfectly. With catcher David Ross mic'd up, Rizzo came over for a quick therapy session. The Cubs were up 3-1 at the time.

"I'm in a glass case of emotions right now," Rizzo told Ross.

"Just continue to breathe," Ross replied. "That's all you can do buddy."

Ross' advice was legit. The 39-year-old hit a home run a few innings later, putting the Cubs up 6-3 entering the late stages of Game 7.

But Rizzo spoke for all us.
