"Steve (Henderson) is a joy. He makes it easy to have patience. If he makes a mistake, it's over-over-aggression. He's a remarkable pupil. Last year, during a rain delay, Bobby Valentine took Stevie and (Lee) Mazzelli aside and talked to them about getting a lead and getting a good jump. The next day Stevie went back to Bobby and repeated everything Bobby had told him verbatim." - New York Mets Manager Joe Torre in Baseball Digest (July 1978)
