Davey was the only guy I know who went to John Hopkins University and played in the major leagues. When we won the World Series in 1970, he took a television at cost instead of a World Series ring. He said, "I don't have a television." We're in an era now where everyone talks about "The ring. The ring." This was the only one he would have gotten. But he was just more practical. Davey was the ninth guy on a nine-man staff, happy to do whatever (manager) Earl (Weaver) asked. Nowadays the money is so excessive. Davey played the game because he loved to play. To me, that's what the game is all about.
