Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"A lot of people play a long time in the big leagues and never play for a World Series team. Even though I didn’t get to play in the (1963) Series, I was part of the team and got part of a Series share. I got a ring and bat from the Series—the ring, the bat and the memories I’ll have forever." - Marv Breeding in The Decatur Daily (Mark Edwards, 01/02/2007)
