If you want to go through everybody - Don Carter, Weber, Hardwick - Billy was the guy. His mental toughness and determination made him unique.

Dick Weber is the only person who could draw all those people to St. Louis. It was a pretty moving thing.

He was a great role model and a legend. He was Mr. Bowling. Whatever needed to be done to help promote the sport, he did it.

He had a pretty good fire inside, and when he put his mind to something, he was going to make it work.

It was the start of a downward slide. Being that far away when something like that happened, it was just brutal.

This is a tremendous honor for Freddy. As a young player, we are proud of his development and continued determination to be a great player. Freddy and D.C. United both aspire to succeed on the world stage and this is another step toward that goal.
