Maury Wills: "The players we looked up to and the players we wanted to be like were these older guys that played on Sundays who called themselves semi-pro. I don't know why semi-pro, they didn't get paid. "They had mixed-matched uniforms on, argyle socks under the stirrups. If they didn't get too drunk on Saturday night and they had enough players on Sunday, they had a game. And those were the guys we wanted to grow up and be like.
