"This was, without a doubt, the longest season of my life...We were bad. I lost a lot of games I should have won, and the atmosphere was just awful. People in Baltimore were upset because they thought I was leaving, and they let me have it, which hurt because I didn't think they understood what was going on. What we asked for in spring training was not at all unreasonable in the market we were in. By the end of the year, I knew it was time to go someplace else."
- Former Orioles Ace Mike Mussina, commenting on the atmosphere created by the team's struggles and his own pending free-agency during the 2000 season, in John Feinstein's book Living on the Black.
