Len Randle

Quotes From Randle
"How do you just flat give a rookie who never has been to bat in the major leagues a starting job? If he comes down here and earns it, that's one thing, but if they are just going to give it to him, I want to be traded as soon as possible. I'm not going to caddy for a rookie." — Lenny Randle on Bump Wills and the starting second base job with the Rangers in 1977.
