The Mets went for credibility with names, but Houston looked better with a group of young players like Joe Morgan, me, Sonny Jackson and Dave Giusti. We changed owners and all of us ended up getting traded. Then the Mets changed philosophies and went young with Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman and it sent them to that incredible 1969 World Series.
He's a good pitcher, but, hell, I'm not going to make him out to be a super pitcher because he's not. ... He certainly is no Tom Seaver or Bob Gibson .
I think the general point of view is we don't want to get to the point where it's somewhat gratuitous and you've got dozens and dozens of people whose numbers are retired ... Historically, from a Mets perspective, this is a very high honor. Certainly from a player standpoint, it's only been Tom Seaver. He's in a class by himself.More quotes »
