"It was top-notch competition. It really helped sharpen my skills. I got to look at top pitching from different parts of the country." - Kevin McReynolds "I knew if I wanted to improve as a player, I'd have to play against the best, and all the best go to Alaska. Of the many stepping stones on my path to the major leagues, the Alaska League was one of the largest." - Alvin Davis
