Quotes About Power
"I never saw a guy who played first base better than Vic Power; there was nobody even close to him. Many times people would bunt to the other side of the plate away from first base and Vic would charge in and still throw out the runner at third base, and second base, too. He was unbelievable." — Tony Oliva
