"After the game (Cecil) Fielder explained that getting his first stolen base had been only a matter of time: 'I told you I was going to get one,' he said. 'I've been working on my jumps the last nine years. The pressure's off now. I'll go on from here. Buddy (Bell) might start me moving a little more, now that he has seen me run.' After everyone stopped laughing at that last remark, Fielder added, 'Hopefully, he won't.'" - Shannon, Mike. Author. Tales from the Dugout: The Greatest True Baseball Stories Ever Told. McGraw-Hill Publishers. 11 January 1998. Page 70.
