"Paul would really get dejected when he didn't get a chance to pitch. I can remember he would come back to the apartment we shared and pull out a contract that had been offered by one of the Canadian Football League teams. Paul used to tell me, 'I'm going to get five years in the big leagues and get my pension and then I'm out of here.'" - Joey Amalfitano
