Teams hated coming in here playing on those hot summer days. Willie McGee, Vince Coleman, Tommy Herr, Whitey managing us -- it was a great time.

Whitey Herzog said a manager should have a good sense of humor and a good bullpen.
You look at the descriptions of Whitey by law enforcement during his early years, and they sum him up pretty well. He was the same guy 40 years later; he just had $40 million more, and had committed 40 more murders.
always thinking ahead two or three innings ahead. Whitey Herzog was a terrific baseball mind, and nobody's better than Bobby Cox.
He gave me a lot of confidence. I remember after the sixth game, Whitey Ford beat us and I said to Pee Wee Reese, 'Don't worry. I'll shut them out.' I was just kidding. But I didn't feel there was any pressure on me. If I beat them, great. If not, I wasn't supposed to, anyway. They were the Yankees. I slept good the night before. The Yankees probably figured I couldn't do it again and the Dodgers had never beaten them, so they weren't worried. Neither was I. There was no pressure on me.
We're going to change it. White people are going to wake up. We're going to run for office. I'm running for Congress. Fifty million white men out of work, then whitey will fight. He won't fight until then.
He got a good look. Whitey makes that shot 80 percent of the time.
