Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"The subtleties of the game of baseball, 'inside baseball,' never would be part of his (Ted Williams while managing the Senators) approach. There weren't even any signs for him to give coach Wayne Terwilliger at third base. Terwilliger ran that show." - Sports Illustrated (April 12, 2004)
