Quotes
Lou: [on Steve Sax's arrest for multiple murders in New York City] Yeah, we got him in New York City for half of '89, half of '90, half of '91. That's, uh, that's opportunity right there.
Steve Sax: What was I doing in New York City then? I was playing baseball, man. I was, I was playing for the New York Yankees, minding my own business. I had absolutely no motive whatsoever.
Lou: I mean, this was the early '90s. The whole country was in the dumps. If you didn't need a motive to get out of bed, you definitely didn't need a motive to put six hundred bodies in the ground.
Steve Sax: That's what? A new murder every other day for four years. That's an unsustainable murder rate for a hardened criminal.
Lou: Look, all I know is he sure was eager to skip town and come to Springfield. Sounds like a man who stole some souls to me.
Steve Sax: I had a hard enough time stealing second base. I knew it was something deep. I knew it was some sort of a conspiracy. Something very sinister was going on, and there was somebody that was putting these cops up to this.
Bill de Blasio: All I'm at liberty to say about Steve Sax is we are still investigating the matter.
