"Right out of high school, I was rubbing elbows with a team that had four Hall of Famers. Guys that I had posted on my bedroom wall. It was just a dream come true. (And the Series victory?) It was an overwhelming sensation. I thought, 'This is the way it's supposed to be.' I took it for granted that this was big league life." - Hawk Taylor (Steven D. Schmitt, 04/27/2011, 'Hawk Taylor -- Still A Super Man', I Love Baseball Players Wiki)
