"Without question, he (Paul Lindblad) was an integral part of those winning ballclubs (A's in 1970's). I don't think he ever got enough credit for what he did. He worked harder and was probably in better shape than anyone on the ballclub. He was a jogger, and nobody had more energy than he did." - Former Teammate Darold Knowles in the San Francisco Chronicle (John Shea, 01/12/2006)
