Mike Colangelo (Angels '99-'00, Padres '01, A's '02)

"What a player does best he should practice least. Practice is for problems."

    Duke Snider (Dodgers 1947-1962)

"Youngsters of Little League can survive undercoaching a lot better than overcoaching."

Willie Mays (Giants 1951-1972)

"Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher"

Ty Cobb (Tigers 1905-1926)

"The most important thing is knowing why you made an out. If you know the pitcher got you out, you gotta clap your hands and say, "Great for the Pitcher." If you got yourself out- by moving to quick, by trying to pull the ball, by coming out of your crouch....You should know that each time."

Rusty Staub (Mets 1972-1975, 1981-1985)
