Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"You want to try and trade arms. Sometimes you dream of some miraculous recovery. Sometimes, I dream that I came back as a right-handed pitcher - and then I would be Don Gullett, the right-handed pitcher. By some stretch of the imagination, I dream that when I wake up my left arm will be like it was. But, when I really do wake up, my left arm is always like it is." - Gullett, Don. Baseball Digest. July 1986. Page 26.
