"He's (John Bateman) colorful. He was the most colorful rookie I've ever seen. I'm not comparing him to the guys who have been around longer, but for a kid he's a natural. The way he hustles, what he says...if he can develop at all, the fans ought to love him. Even the umpires respect him now. When they miss a pitch, he has a habit of holding the ball out there, to show them where it was. They hate to be shown up, and earlier in the season they got on him about it. But now they know that's just the way he catches. He's telling them: 'You missed that one, and I want the next one.'" - Teammate Lum Harris in Baseball Digest (March 1964, Mickey Herskowitz, 'Friskiest of the Colts', Page 61)
