"He was a fabulous human being. He was a man of honor. He was a man of loyalty." - Reggie Jackson

"Our team played very well on the field together, but there were problems. But Catfish got along with everybody. He was a team leader. Everybody liked Catfish. If you didn't like Catfish, you just didn't like people. Catfish was a very unique guy. If you didn't know that he was making that kind of money, you'd never guess it because he was humble. And he was very reserved about being a star type player." - Lou Piniella

"I tried to call him this morning. The line was busy and I was going to call him after the game to see how he was doing. It's a shock. He was one of my best friends on the club and we stayed in touch all these years." - Sal Bando

"The last time we saw him was in Florida during spring training. It was comforting to see his sense of humor was still there. That's what made him special. Catfish was upbeat about everyhing." - Chris Chambliss

"Catfish Hunter was a man among men. He was a genuine person. There was nothing phony about him. I learned a lot from him, both on and off the baseball field." - Vida Blue.

"The bigger the game, the better he pitched." - Hunter's Hall of Fame plaque at Cooperstown, N.Y.
