"When we got him (Donn Clendenon, we became a different team. We never had a three-run homer type of guy. He was always humble, never cocky. We were still young kids in that era. He was a veteran that came in and made us better. When you threw him into the mix with the rest of us, we became a dangerous force. We knew we had a good team (1969 New York Mets) with him, but we didn't know quite how good. Gil (Hodges) thought we were better than we were. He was the MVP — a very dangerous player." - New York Mets Shortstop Bud Harrelson (Dick Lammers, AP Wire, 09/17/2005)
