Quote of the day: Rob Ducey

Outfielder Rob Ducey on his first major league spring training camp in the late 1980s with the Toronto Blue Jays:

“My first batting practice, I hit a ball over the right-field fence off Dave Stieb. The very next pitch, he hit me in the ribs. What do you do? There was no sorrow. There was no anger. It was like, ‘Welcome to the league.’ ”
