"I think Mickey (Hatcher) exemplifies what this team (the 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers) is all about. I got hurt and the team accepted I would be out. And Mickey stepped in and filled my role and I filled his. We had a team approach, and that kept us together." - Kirk Gibson in Good Utility Players Can Always Find Work in Majors (Baseball Digest : August 1998)
