One thing is very different from the last 4 decades or so:  the enthusiasm and hard work of the young players are leading the charge.  The veterans that are there are role players for the most part and they're working hard just to keep up with the kids.  No comfortable veterans with zillions already in the bank being deferred to, no country club attitude of entitlement, the hungry are leading, and that's definitely something I've not seen before on this team.
