"If there's anything the big Red first baseman likes better than a base hit, it's a good meal. The club's brass thinks he eats too many of them. They warned him he was going to eat his way out of the major leagues if he didn't curb his appetite." - Sportswriter Earl Lawson in the Brainerd Daily Dispatch (September 1964)
