I love watching American League games, you know what I mean?

Quotes by Dusty Baker

A more difficult quote describes several years in the American League as an emotionally draining stretch, calling it mental hell that took away all desire to keep playing, following an earlier trade from another minor league. Together, these lines cover both the fun rivalry and the real toll of a long career, a balance also found in Ballpark quotes.
