Hall-of-Famer Don Sutton on Willie Stargell: “He doesn’t just hit pitchers, he takes away their dignity.”
(Alameda (a town that borders Oakland) where Willie Stargell grew up, named a street after Willie Stargell. Works for me.)
That’s a great quote. Stargell seemed like one of those guys that I would have loved to have met.
