"Joe (Niekro) certainly was a fun guy, and I think everybody on the team enjoyed him. He added that little mystique of being a veteran quality pitcher, and he threw that unique pitch (a knuckleball). It was great having him on the team. It's hard to measure what one guy meant to the team because they all were important. When you win like that, everybody contributes." - Minnesota Twins Manager Tom Kelly
