"Figgy was a good pitcher.
He wasn’t an overpowering guy.
He was always around the plate.
He wasn’t flashy, wasn’t dominant, wasn’t a strikeout guy.
He just won."

"I didn’t know what the heck I was doing there, but I was there.
I learned that life, it’s beautiful to be alive.
I saw a lot of people dead there.
When I got out of there, I was happy I was out.
Happy I was alive."
