"(Lisi) Cox said her father remained a baseball fan, but cast a disparaging eye at the escalating salaries of current big-leaguers. 'He thought the salaries they were drawing were ridiculous,' she said. 'What he made then wasn't even 1 percent of what they're making now. He played for the love of the game.'" - Staff Writer Jeff Davis in the Danville Register and Bee (02/13/2003)
