“One night he (Moe Drabowsky) ordered Chinese food from the bullpen. Just got on there and talked to the guy and ordered some egg rolls or something and had them delivered. Another time—and he got in trouble for this — he set off some M1 firecrackers. He crawled through the hedge over to the other bullpen to set off the firecrackers, and the front office saw him from the owner’s box." - Former Pitcher Dick Hall in From 33rd Street to Camden Yards (2001)
