Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"For his age he's (Mark Prior) one of the best pitchers I've seen at pitching to the situation. Usually, that's what veteran pitchers do. Instead of trying to get this guy out and that guy out, he has an idea and a plan on what he wants to do." - Baker, Dusty. Manager. MLB Network Broadcast. 4 December 2003.
