“I really think the homer changed Roy. We had the momentum early and gave it back. But when Mike hit the homer, you saw a different Roy. He was aggressive. He got to be the Roy of old.”
Phil Garner
“When they took Roy, they told me about him, ... When they took Mike, they (didn't) say (anything) to me. I didn't know what to think. I put it like this: 'It's like 50-50 with me. They don't know if they can count on me or not.' So it was a good business move. You can't knock the hustle.”
Charles Rogers
“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”
Roy Croft
“When they see images of guys like Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks and Roy Campanella, whom they recognize as household major-league stars, and realize they came out of the Negro Leagues, all of a sudden that mindset changes.”
Bob Kendrick
“When I first faced him in '98, I knew he and (Roy) Halladay both had special stuff,”
Jeff Conine
“I think it's very exciting. Bernard is very happy about it and so is Roy. It's fantastic.”
Richard Schaefer
“I think Roy now understands that his legacy is on the line. He wants redemption, and the only way he can get that is by beating me. For once in his life, he's taking a real risk, and you have to commend him for that. But it's Tarver time. Roy might be as great as everybody says he is. But I plan to show once again that he's not better than me.”
Antonio Tarver
