Famous Quotes & Sayings

Don Buford

As a team, we had a real good spring. Guys swung the bats real well, then all of a sudden everybody went into a slight batting slump together and right now they seem to be working their way out of that and hitting the ball consistently.

That position, that's a challenge here at Stanford, to come up with legitimate runners that can make people miss, run people over and break long runs.

He's earned the starting job because of his work ethic and responsiveness on the practice field.
