“Pierre's too dangerous. He'll slap down a bunt with the bases loaded. I wanted Lowell.”
Doug Davis
“In Lowell, Indiana, there was a four-hour hostage standoff in a bank. The bank customers were made to line up and stand still for hours . . . just like in a regular visit.”
Bill Maher
“[The couple not only wanted to honor Hunter, but they also wanted to thank the Lowell police and fire departments for their hand in finding Hunter. Representatives of both departments accepted plaques from the family on behalf of the departments.] You never know how important they are until they are needed, ... We had about 100 people out here searching.”
Chris Long
“The guys became more comfortable with the surroundings. We played Tri-City and Lowell early, so we weren't getting beat by anybody who wasn't good.”
Tom Brookens
“Last year our backs were to the wall and we had to go against a very strong Lowell team for four games and we did it. We have been in this situation before and been able to rise up to the challenge. As for the pressure, it doesn't bother me because I put more pressure on myself than anyone could put on me. I imagine most of our players are the same.”
Tim Whitehead
“I just don't think anybody in Lowell is going to stand up. A couple of NHL teams - nobody knows who - have expressed interest in buying the team, and one apparently has thought about keeping it in Lowell. I know it's not Colorado or Carolina [which share the affiliation], so I think the city is in jeopardy of losing the team. If somebody is going to buy it, they'll have to do it soon.”
Tom Rowe
“I tip my hat to the Lowell program, its coach and its players. It's really hard to beat a team three times in one season, but they made it look easy.”
