Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"The Yankees' David Cone, who could have played linebacker, is what I call a junkyard dog because he'll knock you out of the box without blinking. He's got a better-than-average fastball and a real hard slider. Those two pitches help set up one of the best change-ups in either league. Guys with three strong pitches are going to give you consistently good outings." - Merrill, Durwood. Major League Baseball Umpire / Author. You're Out and You're Ugly, Too!: Confessions Of An Umpire With An Attitude. St. Martin's Paperbacks. 14 April 1999.
