More quotes by Nellie Fox
I don't think anyone ever liked to play more than I did.
Nellie Fox
(Al) Lopez is a great believer in speed and hustle, in the go-go style of baseball. No other manager is so determined a foe of stodgy baseball, lack of hustle and slipshod practices and so powerful an advocate of the unexpected.
Nellie Fox
