Gary Gaetti Quotations

That was the first World Series in an indoor stadium, so it was kind of a novelty. It was extremely loud. We've had very, very similar moments here where you can actually feel it on your body.

He's got some serious power. I'm talking big power.

His smile was just infectious, and that's how he played, too. He was one of those guys that it was always good to see him.

He was everybody's everybody. It's easy to say what a great player he was. What I remember most was his infectious smile. He was fun to be around. My kids loved him. Everybody loved him.

I can't fathom the destruction. It's the scope of the loss. It's knowing how long it's going to take to get things back to normal. There are parts of New Orleans that will never be the same.

I can't help think about the guy's smile. He had an infectious personality. That's what I'll remember.

Maybe a 'good morning' when he walked by once.

It might have been a little different if he'd gone out on his own terms. I know something changed in him. He kept the smile on . . . probably somewhere deep in his heart he was hurting.

It's not like I'd call him at home or anything like that, but I saw him different places around the country and he was always the same old Puck to me. He was always smiling, and he'd make you smile.

It's not like the Championship Series, where you're so close to getting there. Now that you're here, you can relax.
