“When I was a young player, I wanted to live in the city, but the Mets said no, I certainly could not live in the City.
They were telling me where I could live.
Rusty Staub marched into GM Frank Cashen's office and said not only can he live wherever he wants to live, but that he would watch me, take care of me and make sure that I was ready every fifth day.
He didn’t need to do that.
He barely knew me."
