Quotes

John Helyar

Walter O’Malley ran baseball...He played every angle, at a time when most of his peers just played with their teams as a hobby. He played his fellow Lords like Koufax threw a curve — so deftly that nobody knew what had happened till it was by them...there was the one voice that truly mattered: Walter O’Malley’s...O’Malley got sick and so did the industry at the same time.
