  • I know it's very minor, but Bale actually said "Here's to Heath," NOT "Here's to YOU, Heath." There are videos of Bale's short speech, and I just find it amazing how some reporters/media can't even get a simple one-sentence quote correct. It makes me wonder how many quotes I've read in the media that may have been completely distorted from the original line. I have no faith in this shotty journalism.
