"The guys put their careers on the line. One pitch could have blown out their arms. You hear the rap people put on the modern-day player -- I, I, I and me, me, me -- well, this series (1995 Division playoffs between New York and Seattle) was anything but that. If this doesn't do a lot to diminish the greedy ballplayer image, I don't know what will."
