Leo Durocher

Babe Ruth

“Frank was the most intense ballplayer I've ever seen. He played the game as hard as anybody. He never, ever gave up on an at-bat no matter what the score was. He'd get a big hit. He went into the stands in New York to make a catch. But what's important is, he did these things every day.”
Earl Weaver
