"There were times it was very tough, but overall, the town and the people and everything made it more enjoyable and a lot less tough than it could have been. The hardest thing about patience is being patient. When I came here, my goals were to win a championship and leave the Cincinnati organization in a better time and place than when I got here, like Tom Kelly did with the Minnesota Twins." - Cincinnati Reds Manager Dusty Baker (MLB.com, Mark Sheldon, 09/28/08)
