MARQUIS GRISSOM BASEBALL BIRTHDAY QUOTE OF THE DAY FOR APRIL 17

Happy 50th birthday to former All-Star, Marquis Grissom. Grissom was a terrific ballplayer who lasted in the majors from 1989--2005. The early part of his career was spent with the Expos where he was a two time all-star.

His other achievements included a two time national league leader in stolen bases, four Gold Gloves, and the 1997 ALC MVP with the Indians.

He is today's recipient of the Baseball Birthday Quote of the Day,

"He doesn't make any mistakes on the bases. He always gets what he supposed to."
--Bill Virdon, on the great base running of Grissom
