I’ll tell you what I think about it. I think that is very, very bad for that man to make an accusation like that. That is terrible. I have never, ever, since I’ve managed, ever told a pitcher to throw at anybody, nor will I ever, and if I ever did, I certainly wouldn’t make him throw at a (bleepin’) .130 hitter like Lefebvre, or (bleepin’) Bevacqua, who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a (bleepin’) boat, and I guaran-(bleepin’)-tee you this, when I pitched, and I was gonna pitch against a (bleepin’) team that had guys on it like Bevacqua, I’d send a (bleepin’) limousine to get the ****sucker to make sure he was in the mother-(bleepin’) lineup because I’d kick that ****sucker’s ass any (bleepin’) day of the week. He’s a (bleepin’) mother-(bleepin’) big mouth, I’ll tell you that.

To reporters when asked about Padres IF Kurt Bevaqua’s comment following a game in which Dodgers pitcher Tom Niedenfuer was fined $500 for beaning Joe Lefebvre of the Padres, after which Bevacqua, Lefebvre’s teammate, was quoted in the papers as saying, “The guy they should have fined was the guy who ordered Niedenfuer to throw at Joe...that fat little Italian.”
