You could talk about this for hours and you would come up with different names, a different list, every 30 minutes,

I'm still in awe about it. I look at the list and see the names on it. I have all the respect in the world for all the former major league players. Nowadays I think the art of the double is kind of gone, because everybody counts on the home run. But for me it's an exclusive club I can be a part of.

Anderson and McDermott were two names I was told are high on the list.

You're going to hear a lot [of names]. There's probably going to be a laundry list, because there are a lot of people that [owners] consider qualified. That's what this is all about. And, sure, whether it's discussed in sessions or just informally in the hallways, it's the one thing that is going to dominate the week.

If he feels it is that important an assertion to make, he ought to list some names,

To join the list of names that have won championships and the Indy 500 in the same season would be pretty special, ... Those are all people I respect immensely. To be listed in the same category as them is a nice feeling.
