Jim Tracy Facto Quotations

the (player) personnel factor and the evaluation of those players.

One of the things that young players have to not only learn but gain an admiration for is the respect factor of the game and the people who have participated in previous years, and an understanding of the history of the organization they are playing in. It's an organization very rich in tradition.
