He surrounds himself with quality, trustworthy people, many of whom are locals. His various businesses have helped turn Plainville around. Before, young families could not make a living and moved away -- not because they wanted to, but because they had to. It was like the very slow death of a community. |
He takes nothing for granted. There are other players that have gotten a lot of accolades their entire lives, and there's always a point they can get to where they think they can coast. Mark doesn't coast. Mark comes to work, he does well, he makes plays, and he comes out the next day and does it again. |

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. |
He told me this incredible story that Walt's first really big production as a cartoonist for the cinema had been a character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was before Mickey. And for reasons that aren't still totally clear to me, Walt lost those rights. He didn't have the money to hold onto them. |
He was giving an opinion, maybe saying Isiah and Larry have different opinions. I don't know if that's derogatory. I'm telling you that we're on the same page. We're trying to win and we're trying to figure this out. He didn't tell me it was going to be easy when I got the job. And I'm finding that out. |
He was in sorrow with me. And just as with Lazarus, Shirley will arise on the last day. All this came to me on the flight back, up 36,000 miles in the sky. And I recalled that she'd read her Bible more on this trip than she had in a long time, and she was enjoying herself, so all of that helps my heart. |
He was pretty sharp, ... He was making good pitches. It was a battle. My second at-bat, I had a battle with him, fouled off a bunch of pitches. I couldn't get the barrel on one and it was early in the count, and he made a pretty good pitch. It was down a little bit, but I was able to catch it out front. |
He was really playing well. We had won three out of four games. Allen was a big part of that because of his quarterback play and leadership. He always gave heart and hustle on the floor and he had probably become our best perimeter defender. You take him out of the equation and it really makes it tough. |
He was really solid this weekend. It is nice to see him progressing and playing well at this time of year. He's young and he's learning, but that is gonna be good for his confidence the way that he played this weekend. There is no doubt about that and the guys in front of him played a really solid game. |
He was the heart and soul of our program the last two years. He started as a sophomore, but he was young then. The last two years, everything surrounded him on offense and defense. He stepped up to that challenge and put us on his back during that period and got Grove City back on the map in basketball. |
He was with us for 22 years. Everywhere we go, Gary is well-remembered. What amazes me constantly is the amount of friends he had. And fans ? people with connections to him. When he died, we got cards and letters from all over; he had such a huge following. Then again, he's always been likable and kind. |
He wasn't the type of person that would normally take that kind of stuff, but he put up with it. He knew if he did well, the other players would have a chance. If Jackie fell there, we might not be playing in the major leagues even today. He really did he put it all of the Negro League on his shoulders. |
He went into a hiding place during surgery. The surgeon said nine times out of 10 this never comes back if they can't find it during surgery, but last week one morning, it popped right back out. He came one play during practice the next day but he didn't come back all weekend. Hopefully he stays hidden. |
He will have cruel suffering, loss, injury of the body, heavy affliction, or loss of mind, Or a misfortune coming from the king, or a fearful accusation, or loss of relations, or destruction of treasures, Or lightning-fire will burn his houses; and when his body is destroyed, the fool will go to hell. |
