"When I went up to the big club last year for just seven games I learned an awful lot just sitting and listening to the other fellows. That's quite an inspiration. I think I'll hit for a good average. I run pretty good and I can bunt too." - Brown, Oscar. Braves Not Loaning Out Oscar Brown Again. Verrell, Gordon. Long Beach Independent Staff Writer. 9 March 1970.
