Felipe Alou People Quotations

It will energize the crowd and the team. He does not have to hit home runs. It is the fact that he will be in the lineup. Not only will the people attending the game be watching, but people all over the world will be watching.

People overlooked him because he doesn't throw hard. They didn't know the kind of man that was inside that body. They know now.

When the good teams played they were very close games. Pitching dominated. When that happens anyone, including the U.S., can get beat. I believe that if it happens again with this kind of tournament, some of the people including the players who didn't believe it was serious will have to believe now that it is serious.

Suspend me for life. If they address a problem they need to address, and if my suspension will cure the problems, that'll be fine. If it'll make people more alert, I'm OK with that. But if it's going to stay the way it is, I'm not for the suspension.

Whatever the comment was, it was from people who are not spending time in the trenches,

He is a great player. He has always been a great player, a complete player, a super player. And I hope he is judged by real baseball people when he is finished, by people who know a baseball player when they see one ... on the basis of true facts and not assumptions.

He does not have to hit home runs. It is the fact that he will be in the lineup. Not only will the people attending the game be watching but people all over the world will be watching.

He was the king of the mound today. He was a very calm kid out there. Right now he's overpowering people with his fastball. There's going to be a time when he's going to have to go to the other pitches. And he will.

He had a pretty decent sinkerball and a good slider ? and good hitting. He can hit, by the way. Some people might besurprised.

we've been (left for) dead for three months. There weren't too many people who thought we'd be playing any game now that was important. Whatever happens, I'm proud of our guys for not giving up.

What is their proof? ... Are they testing players, too? How do you explain that? Or have they stopped testing now? We just saw him hit five in 30 at-bats. So what's going on now? I hope that he's judged by the real baseball people when he's finished.

The heart of this team was absent for too many games. It's all memories of injuries and people getting hurt. We'll start healthy in spring training.

They used to say when I was a kid, 'Well, he's a Babe Ruth.' Any kid my age who hit a home run they would say 'Wow, he's a Babe Ruth' - in the Dominican. I didn't hear people say 'He's a Hank Aaron.' There's something mystic about the Babe, the name. ... Santa Claus.

The medical people are around him and are watching him. If he stays solid maybe they'll let me have him.

I thought about it when I saw that. Maybe other people will be called. I guess anybody who they believed to know something, they want to hear (those) people talk.
