"He's (Pat Dobson) one of four (20 game winners in 1971) that everybody will remember. He had a great year for us. He was a free spirit and I enjoyed having him. He was a pleasure to have on the team. He caused a lot of laughs, and he kept his teammates laughing. When he started throwing that curveball for a strike, it was all over. He could throw the curveball at any time in the count. He made his life baseball and enjoyed every minute of it." - Baltimore Orioles Manager Earl Weaver (AP Wire, 11/24/2006)
