"The Wrong Stuff" by Bill "Spaceman" Lee & Dick Lally

Contributed by: A baseball fan

I was happy to see (teammate 3B Greg) Norton get AL Player of the Week. With 5 homers and a .423 average, he deserves it. But the way he's going, I'm even happier that I don't have to face him.

Michael Robert "Mike" Sirotka
Chicago White Sox
Pitcher

Sometimes you see somebody standing there watching a home run for a while, and that's not fun for a pitcher to see.

Hit the ball, run, throw, catch it -- that's the way the game should be played.

St. Louis Cardinals
Pitcher

Ted Williams. That'll get him mad as hell.

When asked by a reporter who his baseball idol was when he was a kid (Wynn was born only about 15 months after Williams)

Early Wynn
Chicago White Sox
Pitcher
HOF 1972

He was serious about every pitch, every game. He liked to have fun, but he was tough to get along with on the days he was pitching. Hitters knew it. He'd throw at anybody, whether it was Joe DiMaggio or Ted Williams.
