"He (Vern Ruhle) was a quiet unassuming person who accomplished a lot with what would probably be considered less than average major league talent just with the love the game. He was out there early and always late. He worked real hard because he loved the game. ... The point is he was self made. I think that really helped him in coaching. He was such a kind hearted person. Everybody liked him." - Houston Astros Manager Larry Dierker (AP Wire, 01/21/2007)
