"I think going to Yankee Stadium in 1976 was a lot more intimidating than it is now because the fans were a lot rowdier and were very disrespectful." ; 9. "Family, friends, fans, wherever you went, people were saying, 'You guys can't let this happen again, we gotta win this.'"

"Twenty years from now, the kids who play in the RBI Program will know about Frank White and he will never be forgotten."

"The one thing that stood out from the event at the Kauffman Center was that all the guys there were winners." ; 17. "During all this with the Royals, she made sure I was okay." ; 18. "At times like that, I get humble. It's almost like you want to just put your head down, because it's so unexpected." ; 19. "George had the opportunity to fight for himself and he went out on his own terms. Good for him, he deserved it."
