Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"It's super competitive in Hawaii. We're not able to travel and get exposure, but there's lots of great talent there. I was always one of the best, wasn't always THE best. When we used to play in the championship games, both teams were stacked. It's still some of the most pressure-packed baseball I've ever played." - Kirby Yates (Kinas, Patrick. The Human Side of Sports. 17 June 2014.)
