Pat Malone on promoting Washington DC at MLB Expansion meeting - "I just took my whole script and I chucked it . . .

When you took that script and you whipped it in the trash, I looked around the table, and everybody is now watching what you were saying and they were listening to what you were saying.'" Pat Malone, Mr. Baseball, Washington DC A Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen and this is Our Town.
