Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"One of Mr. (Jim) Park's characteristics is his utter lack of animosity. I have never heard Mr. Park utter a harsh or bitter word against any human being. When a man can prosecute a defendant so vigorously, as Mr. Park did on one occasion, that he is given the death penalty, yet prosecutes him so fairly that the condemned man sends him a Christmas card before his execution, then we may be certain that even-handed justice has prevailed in the courthouse." - Lawyer William H. Townsend in the Lexington Herald (December 18, 1970)
