"I had him (Paul Molitor) in the sixth grade at St. Luke's grade school, and he played in the eighth-grade program. I remember when Paul was in the fifth grade, our phys ed teacher (Dennis Denning) came up and said, 'Westy, I got a kid who's going to go all the way to the majors.' That was a pretty good call" - Coach Wally Wescott
