I was frustrated after a Florida State League game back in 1977 and threw my spike up against the wall. Unfortunately, it hit the picture.

I think it'll be a nice little thing for the Florida Southern team to say they played against these guys, even though they're not going to play the whole game. There's still going to be a pretty good team throughout the whole game.

Obviously, we swung the bats well. I was worried, because it was the first game back off a West Coast trip.

Every state we go to, it's just like that. I don't care if it's Denver, Colorado, or Georgia or Florida. It's neat to get a chance to see the different alums throughout the country.

I am an exhibit. Joe is exhibit A. There's a game somewhere. Penn State and Florida State are playing. We're just an exhibit.

The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball.
