All winners in the DVD promotional giveaway have been notified and should expect to get their DVDs this week.Matt Holliday speaks about winning the World Series.“It was frustrating,” he said. “It was heartbreaking to get to a Game 7 of a World Series and to realize that I had no chance to play.”So, how did the Stillwater native balance the disappointment and the delirium?Holliday insists it wasn't that hard.
