"He (Cal McLish) didn't play organized baseball growing up, instead hanging out at local parks just to be around the sport. 'I worked my way up from picking up rocks in the infield to hanging scores on the scoreboard to shagging balls in the outfield to the ball boy,' McLish told The Oklahoman's Berry Tramel in 2007. 'The only thing I wanted to think about or do when I was growing up was baseball.'" - Columnist Ryan Aber in NewsOK.com (08/27/2010, 'Former big league pitcher Cal McLish dies at age 84')
