A Quote by John Branch

The fighting in the NHL, especially, and, I think, in some of the minor leagues, it's usually the loudest and the most excited the crowd gets during the entire the game.

You look at the best players in the game - Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr - they didn't sit on the couch and then one day join the NHL. They worked on their game. Their talent was perseverance, dedication. Those are talents to me; that's what gets you to the NHL.

P.K. Subban

I kept listening in the minor leagues, and even earlier than that, people would say, 'If you don't hit the fastball, you're not going to get to the big leagues.' Every game, you're going to get a fastball.

Jose Altuve

We're concerned how gambling and betting affects the NHL game and changes the perception of and challenges the integrity of the NHL game.

Gary Bettman

The one thing I didn't understand was the Minor Leagues, how that part of the business works. I'd see Todd Hollandsworth out there one game, and the next game he wouldn't be there, and I didn't understand.

Giancarlo Stanton

The minor leagues were great. When you first sign, that is your big leagues.

Brian Roberts

Everybody in the minor leagues - if you're a player, an announcer, whatever - wants to be in the big leagues.

Ernie Harwell

I played good ball in the minor leagues, and that's why they called me up to the major leagues.

Jose Altuve

I wanted to be in the big leagues, not stuck in the minor leagues.

Aroldis Chapman

I enjoyed hitting in the Major Leagues more than in the Minor Leagues. I didn't want to tell anybody it was easier, because I didn't want to sound cocky. But Major League pitchers had better control, and most of them were around the plate.

Willie McCovey

Any time you're in the coaching business or managing in the minor leagues, when you see a player who has made it to the major leagues, you get a thrill out of that.

Ryne Sandberg

I went to college for a reason, and that was to skip the minor leagues. I spent a year in the minors and got my at-bats in, and then I felt like I was ready for the big leagues.

Mark Teixeira

I think that we, as writers, get excited by risk. When we are feeling comfortable and familiar, I wouldn't say that we get bored, but the energy in the room gets flat. When we're most excited and when the show is the most fun, it's when we're duking things out.

Damon Lindelof

Coming from a great college program like F.S.U., everybody had one common goal, and that was to win. You get into the minor leagues, and whether it's right or wrong, it's a selfish game.

Buster Posey

It's hard at times, but other times it's the most fun you're going to have I think in the entire NHL is playing well in Montreal. There's nothing that compares to it.

Carey Price

The pay in the minor leagues, I think it's terrible, it's disgusting, it's exploitative.

Sean Doolittle

I learned a lot in the Minor Leagues, spending six years there. I honed my skills, as far as coaching goes. I was able to work with the players in a lot of facets of the game.
