In over 160 years of recorded baseball history, no team had ever won a championship this way.

I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.

Tom Seaver was let loose twice by the Mets and pitched a no-hitter for the Reds and won his 300th game for the White Sox, but he wears a Mets cap in the Hall of Fame as homage to the 1969 championship.

Without Cooperstown, you don't have baseball: Baseball is history.

Not everybody's a baseball fan.

I'm not a fan of baseball really.

I know that nobody can become a star without a team.

People who write about spring training not being necessary have never tried to throw a baseball.
