Felipe Alou Stuff Quotations

What I did wasn't just for Latin players. I did this because I want to live in an America where no one regardless of their skin color has to hear that stuff anymore. For too long, I had to listen to that stuff, and it wasn't right and it isn't right now.

I was one of the first guys to face Seaver in the majors. He was a college guy (Southern Cal), so he was more polished than this kid. But the stuff he throws is the same.

When teams are losing, things happen. It happens to the manager, to the coaches, to the players, to anybody. That kind of stuff doesn't happen when teams are winning.

I played with Hank Aaron. Stuff started to happen ? hate letters, fans in the stands.

I told him ... that the kid stuff is over with.

I believe Schmitty has really become a complete pitcher. He can pitch with really good stuff or what he had yesterday, control.

I believe Schmitty has really, really become a complete pitcher. He can pitch when he has real good stuff or what he had (Saturday). ... He still got a couple of punch-outs (six over five innings). That should tell him that he doesn't need to throw his fastball past everybody.

I don't worry. But I know it's there. I played with Hank Aaron. There was no security attached to Hank and the Braves. I wasn't there when he broke the record but I was there when he was approaching and stuff started happening - hate letters and yelling - and there wasn't speculation about him.
