Quotable!
"I have a hard time believing athletes are overpriced. If an owner is losing money, give it up. It's business. I have trouble figuring out why owners would stay in if they're losing money."
--Reggie Jackson (in 1976)

 
Draft by Year

1985 Major League Draft

Here is the first round of the 1985 Major League Baseball draft. 

The Expos were unable to sign Pete Incaviglia and unloaded him to the Rangers for Jim Anderson and Bob Sebra. Incaviglia became the first drafted player since 1978 to skip the minors (complete list) when the Rangers signed him to a major league contract and immediately put him alongside Oddibe McDowell and Ruben Sierra in their outfield.
