Team members involved in fundraising fundraising would like to thank all the people people who have supported them in their drive to reach their goals to off-set the cost of playing hockey this year. If you gave, thanks, and if you haven't, please do. The money goes to a worthwhile worthwhile cause. If home is where you hang your hat, one could forgive major league pitcher Paul Quantrill if he couldn't recite his address, or recall which peg his hat was left on. He began the year in the home of a couple who had departed for the sunnier climates and warmer temperatures temperatures the southern United Sates has to offer during the winter months. Then he made the trek south, settling settling into an apartment in Fort Meyers, Meyers, Florida, which serves as the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox. When spring training concluded, concluded, it was off to another apartment apartment in Boston, where he expected to remain for the rest of the season. Not so. July came, and Quan trill was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. His name had been included in a number of trade rumors the past two years, which isn't unusual for a talented, talented, young pitcher. One of the stronger rumors had him coming to Toronto in exchange for catcher Pat Borders. That one never materialized. "I pushed all the trade talk aside because there is nothing you can do about it. You just have to wait and see what happens," he said. Boston were seeking an outfielder outfielder with some power, while Philadelphia Philadelphia wouldn't make a trade unless Quantrill was included in the deal. Having settled into Boston and having become very comfortable with the lifestyle there over the past two years, packing up and leaving for Philadelphia wasn't an easy transition. transition. "I was settled in and knew everyone everyone really well, so that part of the trade was tough," he admitted. Quantrill was a draft choice of Boston out of the University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin, and had worked his way up to the major leagues in a relatively short time. He was utilized as both a starter and reliever, and was able to avoid any serious injury. Though, there were a couple of times that he did get banged up. This past season he injured his hand during a bench-clearing brawl against the Seattle Mariners. The fight started after Quantrill came into the game in relief of starter starter Frank Viola. He came in with a 1- 2 count on Anthony, and threw a ball. The next pitch was high, knocking Eric Anthony down. Quantrill then issued an intentional walk on the next pitch. On the way to first base, the two on, forcing exchanged words. Anthony Anthony then ran toward the mound, throwing his helmet over Quan- trill's head and grabbing grabbing him around the waist. During the melee, Quantrill's hand was stepped numbing his fingers, and him to leave the game. "Those incidents should not happen as much as they do," Quantrill Quantrill said of the bench-clearing brawls that occur each year. The previous year, he banged up his knee while attempting to get a bullpen door open. It had jammed during a brawl with the Chicago White Sox. The trade meant finding a new residence in Philadelphia. A hotel room served the purpose for a while, until he was able to move himself and his wife into an apartment. apartment. He started off strongly for Philadelphia, Philadelphia, who had acquired him to pitch in key situations during a game. But there was a lot to learn and a number of adjustments to make. There were coaches who were unfamiliar with Quan trill's pitching style, teammates he didn't know, and a catcher, Darren Daulton, whom he had never thrown to before. before. The National League version of the game also varied from the one played in the American League. The differences were detected immediately. immediately. "It's a whole different game," he began. "In the National League, they hit and run, steal, and bunt a lot more. They play for one run at a time. In the American League, guys are always looking to hit a three-run home run." There are also some added responsibilities responsibilities that a pitcher in the National League is expected to accept. accept. Without a designated hitter, pitchers get the opportunity to contribute contribute to the offence by stepping up to the plate. "That was quite an experience after not hitting for about five years," Quantrill said with a laugh. As time wore on, he began to struggle, and admittedly wasn't pleased with the way he was throwing throwing the ball. There, was also the lingering thought in the back of his mind that when some of Philadelphia's key players came off the disabled list, Baseball by Brad Kelly ' ! some roster moves were going to be made. With only two or three players eligible to be optioned to the minors without having to pass through the league on waivers, Quantrill was sent down to Philadelphia's Philadelphia's triple 'A' affiliate in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania. The move didn't come as a surprise. surprise. "I knew whether I did good or bad that there was a chance I would have to go (back to the minors)." Philadelphia's long range plan for Quantrill is to move him out of the bullpen and into their starting rotation. rotation. To build up some innings, the move to the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Red Barons of the International League was the logical choice. Of course, it meant moving once again -- this time into a hotel while the season finished. There was a little revenge for Quantrill to salvage before the season season came to a close. He tossed a shutout during a game against Pawtucket, Pawtucket, who are the triple 'A' affiliate affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, and a team he had played for on his way up to the major leagues. 1 Unfortunately, there was no call to go back up to Philadelphia in September September when major league teams expand expand their rosters. A players' strike had much to do with that, washing out the remainder of the regular season.. season.. Quantrill fully expects that a settlement settlement will be reached in time for players to report for spring training in March. He is now back in the area, living gt the home of his parents, near Port Hope. But, like the way the rest of the year has gone, his stay there is only going to be a temporary one. A new home currently under construction construction should be ready for occupancy by mid-November. So, while the off-season is spent preparing for yet another move, it isn't the baseball strike that is most disturbing. The labor dispute between between the players and owners of the National Hockey League is a cause for concern. "When I come home I expect to relax and watch some hockey. It's tough not having any hockey," said Quantrill.
