“I'd say anyone would be very hard-pressed to get Billy to leave Florida.”
Bill Donovan
“If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you.”
Billy Wilder
“You guys saw him take Billy Wagner. I can't throw as hard as Billy. He's going to hit a fastball. You face him enough times, sooner or later he's going to get everybody.”
Scott Linebrink
“I'm a player of the Mets. Facing Billy ... he's such a hard thrower. I was looking for a slider, but he kept giving me a lot of fastballs. Good thing I was able to get one over third base on a pitch I got jammed.”
Carlos Beltran
“It's hard to think what should make your blood boil more -- what happened to Billy Ray or what didn't happen to those who abused him. It's something we can't ignore.”
Morris Dees
“There were no negotiations, ... Their offer was basically a take-it-or-leave-it deal, so that's that. ... Billy said he wasn't budging from his first offer.”
Ken Macha
“Florida was terrific. Credit Billy Donovan. They were really well coached. They did an excellent job handling our pressure.”
