If he's not the best defensive second baseman, he's pretty close. He's the best I've seen turning the double play -- ever.
José Manuel Oquendo
St. Louis Cardinals

He was so good that he'd ask batters where they wanted it, just so they'd have a chance. He'd ask, "You want it high? You want it low? You want it right in the middle? Just say." People still couldn't get a hit against him. So I get up there and he says, "Hey T., how do you like it?" And I said, "It doesn't matter, just don't hurt me." When he wound up -- he had these big old feet -- all you could see was his shoe. I stood there shaking, but I got a hit. Right out over second base. Happiest moment in my life.

In frustration [after a strikeout], I whacked myself on the head with my bat in the ninth. I had my helmet on. It's something I've done a million times, but I still can't tell you for sure if that was it. But that's the only thing that I can point to because that night and the next morning, I just didn't feel good. So it's been going on since then. I just have some lack of balance and some headaches, and just stuff that hasn't been a whole lot of fun. It's a lesson to myself, a lesson to the kids to not do that, no matter how frustrated you are.

I've seen all the best players of the past twenty years and no one's been better than Joe. I never tired of watching him bat. It was a pleasure to see him swing and when he hit the ball there was a ring to it that pleased the ear.
