Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He threw so hard that the ball just flew by us," said boyhood friend Cuno Barragan, who played for the Solons and Cubs. "I always used to accuse of him of being 18 and playing in a 100-pound league." - Columnist Robert D. Davila in The Sacramento Bee (06/29/2011, 'Obituary: Richie Myers a fan favorite as Sacramento Solons shortstop', Source)
