Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Greatest memory as an Indian? 'My first game in the big leagues [Box Score]. I remember my first year and my first hit, and I'm never gonna forget about the snow. The second thing — the two home runs against the Yankees, April 8, 1993. ... from each side of the plate (right-handed against Steve Howe, left-handed against Steve Farr, in the same inning). And the third one is making it to the World Series (1995). I'm going to never forget about that.'" - Staff Writer Marc Bona in The Plain Dealer (07/31/2014, Former Indian Carlos Baerga talks about his time in, and after, baseball, Page 18)
