"I've made mention of this many times throughout the course of this injury-plagued season that we've (the 2009 Kansas City Royals) had: I'm much more impressed with where we're at mentally, work ethic-wise and attitude-wise with this club in comparison to what we had last year. I think that has grown, I think the character has grown. Right, wrong and indifferent, I think that's something that leads to more wins." - Kansas City Royals Manager Trey Hillman on MLB.com (10/05/09, Dick Kaegel, 'Royals not likely to overhaul '10 roster')
