"I did it (jumped to the renegade Mexican League in 1946 after a contract dispute with the Giants) because I loved the game and wanted to play. Today's players make too much money to love the game. Their hero is Donald Trump, not Babe Ruth." - Danny Gardella in The Journal News (Michael Gannon, 03/09/2005)
