Quotes
I truly believe Lonnie gets too much blame, because first of all, you don't see the ball off the bat there, because of the dome's white ceiling ... Lonnie was running when I hit the ball, so he couldn't see the ball [which is why he paused], and their shortstop and second baseman fooled him [by faking a potential double play]. I talked to the guys about the white ceiling before we got to Minnesota, because when I was with the St. Louis Cardinals, we played there [in the World Series] in 1987.
