Pudge Fisk is 76 years old. The greatest catcher in AL history, with due respect to Yogi and Ivan R. He hated the #Yankees in the style of a true New Englander. #RedSox #WhiteSox #NewHampshire https://t.co/xlJcpa2shK

Lute Olson NEVER cussed and didn’t tolerate profanity from his coaches or players “I don’t believe in cursing. I really think that you’re not showing respect for the people that you’re dealing with. The players knew where I stood on that” Olson was 776-285 in his 34 year career https://t.co/APCH0SARGT
