Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Indian Bob Johnson never had one of those super seasons that make everyone sit up and whistle. While phenoms came, collected their MVP trophies, and faded, he just kept plodding along hitting .300, with a couple dozen homers and a hundred ribbies year after year. Like a guy punching a time clock." - Bob Carroll in For the Hall of Fame : Twelve Good Men (1985)
