"You don't succeed a player like (Jimmie) Foxx. I only followed him at first base. No one can replace Foxx. And following him was a tremendous burden. I got caught in the same situation as Babe Dahlgren did in New York following Lou Gehrig. To follow a star is just impossible. It's a disaster to follow a guy who can hit that ball over that left field fence." - Tony Lupien in "Fenway: An Unexpurgated History of the Boston Red Sox" (1992, Peter Golenbock)
