Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Well, he was left-handed, he could throw strikes and he had a bat. Plus, nothing ever fazed him. We had no hesitation about putting him on the World Series roster, none at all He had the guts of a burglar. He was a cocky kid, but he could back it up and he was quite a hitter. I'm convinced that if he'd come to the major leagues as something besides a pitcher, he could've made it as a hitter." - Red Sox Manager Dick Williams
