Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"It was an awesome year and I wish we (the 2005 Oakland Athletics) were still playing, but any time the season ends, you're kind of glad. It's such a grind, so knowing that I'll have some time to just hang out and be a dad, I'm really looking forward to that." - Oakland Athletics Third Baseman Eric Chavez on MLB.com (Mychael Urban, 10/02/2005)
