Boston Red Sox Quotes

"The fans are greatly disturbed over the change made by President John I. Taylor, by which we lose that peerless wielder of the stick [Pat Dougherty] and get in return an untried player in fast company, and if the reports we hear are true, a sick man in one of New York’s hospitals. There is not the least doubt in my mind, and the vast majority of people who are interested in the world’s champions, that we got the worst of the exchange and all deplore the trade.”
