He loved the kids and felt sorry for them. He told me 'they're beautiful kids,' and he would ask me to send paper, crayons, pencils and candy for him to give them. I would buy 10-pound bags of candy - five at a time - and send them to him. |
He loves to pitch in, and you could tell the Dodgers hitters weren't able to swing. I want to be able to call a Pelfrey into my office four to five starts from now to say, 'Hey, you're going to the big leagues.' That's what it's all about. |
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. |
He reaffirmed my belief in what we're trying to do there, and we're pretty well represented by having a kid like him there. When we talked about it, he was glowing. He was in that frontline crew. ... It was something he took some pride in. |
He really did have a good time. He gave us a big ole hug at the airport and said 'Let's bring (country singer) Larry Gatlin, have a barbecue and do this thing up right and really raise some money. I had never seen him happier when he left. |
He really did live in two different worlds. He was real good at his job. He knew engineering. It came as second nature to him, and he always had a good job especially when he was with Mobile. But he was equally if not more adept as a poet. |
He said, 'Carl, you're not going to like this, because there's not big dollars involved, but it's good for our patients. And I listened and I thought, this is what I would want for my own family ... I thought it was something we had to do. |
He seems pretty confident, ... It's evidenced by the fact that he'll throw any pitch in any count at any time in the game. We needed him to fill a spot and he's given us much more than we could've hoped for. He seems to be strong as an ox. |
He threw one inning as planned with no difficulty. He also threw off the mound on Saturday with a full bullpen [session] without any problems. We decided to get him in a Minor League game first, just to make sure, and the knee looked good. |
He took over the game with his drives to the basket in the fourth quarter. He puts so much pressure on the defense, doesn't settle for jumpers. When the double-team comes, he finds the open players, making it easier on him in the long run. |
He tried to push me out of bounds, and I just tried to keep my balance. I guess he was relying on my momentum taking me toward the sideline and him just being able to push me out of bounds. He didn't anticipate me trying to stay in bounds. |
He wanted to let us know he was rooting for us and wished he could be here. He called us all and said, 'Come out and play hard. Play Arizona basketball.' So that's what we did. We came out with intensity, got out on the floor and just ran. |

He was a high choice in the baseball draft, a decathlete and good enough to play basketball at Indiana. He reminds me of [former Baltimore Colts quarterback] Bert Jones. He has size, is smart and can throw and run. He will play on Sundays. |
He was always planning to have different places to hide himself from, from the people. Iraq is a wide country. You have many places that some person can hide themselves for awhile. But I don't think he will be able to hide himself forever. |
