Famous quotes by Maury Wills:

"I heard all the black people buzzing about this man in Brooklyn named Jackie Robinson. I asked who he was and they told me. Right then, I said, 'I want to play for the Dodgers someday.' That was my childhood dream."

"We played in the Coliseum then, that had over 94,000 people. Prior to that, the biggest crowd I played in front of was about 1,500. And if you can imagine the sound of 94,000 people chanting 'Go, go, go Maury go,' I knew I had a home."

"I had given up my dream of going to be with the Dodgers ... I just wanted to be the best I could be as a minor leaguer. [Bragan] restored my drive, my passion, my dream to go to the big leagues, and I've loved him every since."

"He's without a doubt the No. 1 male in my life, ... I was a longtime minor leaguer going nowhere. I could do a lot of things like run, throw and field, but I was afraid of the curveball. ... He made me a switch-hitter."

"It's disappointing, but I broke the record just by taking the lineup out there,"
