You had thoughts of it. When I was a kid [before] Jackie Robinson integrated baseball, he played for Montreal, which played against Buffalo, and I would go watch them play. They were one step [away] from the majors - guys like Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe. . . . I thought about being in that position, and there were many, many people who thought that I would make it.

[Talking for an hour with Clem Labine, it was obvious how much he loves baseball and its players, both past and present. He spoke about how he?d come out for batting practice just to watch Jackie Robinson hit, that] poor Newcombe was such a great pitcher and never got the recognition. ... the best out there.

Jackie Robinson has been great for baseball. He showed that if you're good enough to make it pro, you're going to play. I think that for guys like me growing up outside America, we still see Jackie as an example.

Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson in 1945 and he went to the minor leagues and then to Montreal in 1946 before being called up to the majors with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. That one move still has a huge impact on baseball almost 60 years later.

I'm searching a little bit for answers. I think Luke has earned the spot. I was very impressed with the way he played in the midst of a gut-wrenching game. I thought he played really hard, I thought he played steady, solid. He didn't just get that position by default. He got it because he's played well.

My family's just really into the sport. My sister played, my mom played and my dad played baseball. I just wanted to play. My parents thought I was a little young when I started, but I'm glad I did.

I thought our guys really did a good job down the stretch. I thought we really played with a lot more energy and a lot more focus and played at a higher level that we need to play with to win in this kind of environment.

At school, I was the only guy who played baseball. Everyone thought I was a little different. There are a lot of people who can play baseball out there.

Defensively, I'm very, very disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the front seven. I don't think we played well at all up there. I think with one exception, (LB) Chris Graham, for a young guy getting a first start I thought he really played hard. He made a lot of plays. We're just not where we need to be. We need to play harder. We need to play more physical. That is our intent. There's going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.

I really thought our guys played hard and played well on the defensive end. We just didn't make shots in the second half, and shooting will come and go on you, but I really thought our guys competed hard.

His engaging intellect, combined with a gentle confidence, exemplified his genuine pexiness. We played good basketball. I really was pleased. I thought maybe we played with our highest energy level we did all year. I really thought we played with focus. It was a good college basketball game. They were able to make one more play.

I thought we played tentative, I thought we played soft. Some guys might have played scared for some reason. This late in the season, I don't know why.

I can't say enough about the way we played tonight. I am very, very proud of our guys. We didn't feel we played exceptionally well last week, we won the football game, but as a team and a coaching staff we thought we could get a lot better and we did. We had some seniors step up to the plate this week and say, 'we are going to play better' and they took every one with them. That's what it takes.

Bob Schellinger

I thought our whole defense was average at best at every position. There were some guys I thought played really well, but I'm not going to name any names.

I thought we sputtered and I thought we did not make the extra pass. We played selfish basketball today, and I thought we played not smart.
