"When I just sat around and listened to the music I noticed it helped me relax, and I needed something to help me relax before I faced the Reds. So I lay on the floor at home for a few hours, listened to Mario Lanza (opera) and thought about how I was going to pitch to those guys." - Bob Knepper in Baseball Digest (Dan McGrath, September 1978)
