Says Finley: "Those complaints are a lot of horse shit. The guys are a bunch of spoiled brats. There isn't a phone in the clubhouse because it's against major league rules to have a phone so handy ?gamblers could call. We stay in the same hotels as other teams. I'm not paying $5,000 extra for a charter flight when the team is already going first class. If they want stamps, they can have as many as they need if they'll bring the mail up to the office.

...likes neckties, almost all of them striped, and he sometimes carries an extra in his briefcase for a midday change. He has been given a bunch of fancy robes for his new swimming pool, but he prefers an old red terry-cloth number. His blue leather chair from Alexandria is the one he seeks out at night for his homework. If he has a favorite musical number, it is probably Oklahoma!
