"I wasn’t really shocked when they called me up. When I went into the games, it was for defense, maybe for a couple of innings. I didn’t like that too well because I always played. I played everyday. That was just one thing I didn’t like about being with Chicago. I was told, and led to believe, that I had made the ballclub. Charlie Grimm (Cubs manager) called me into his office and told me I was going to be his fourth outfielder. That made me feel good and I couldn’t say no. I wasn’t the type of player that could come off the bench and do much. Then to this day, I have never understood this, but they sent me back to Dallas. I was so sure that I was on the team." - Jim Kirby on NashvilleSounds.com (Bill Traughber, 07/27/2009, Looking Back: Jim Kirby Remembered)
