"If a player was making $20,000 a year, I would have minded my own business, but I figured out that Jim Rice was making $582 for every strike I called and I was making 7¢. There's no way I'm going to keep my place for 7¢." - Luciano, Ron. Umpire (1973 All-Star Game). Baseball Digest. December 1989. Page 67.
