"Donald Paul Werner" is a retired Major League Baseball catcher. He played during seven seasons at the major league level, playing for the Cincinnati Reds and Texas Rangers (baseball). In 1978, the Reds starting catcher, Johnny Bench, sat out 20 plus games with an injury which gave Don a starting role. On June 16 of the same year he caught the only no-hitter of Hall of Famer Tom Seaver's career. He was drafted by the Reds in the 5th round of the amateur draft. Werner played his first professional season with their Rookie League Gulf Coast Reds in 1971, and his last with Texas' Triple-A club, the Oklahoma RedHawks in .

We just weren't having good at-bats against him. We were trying to lift balls and over-swinging, taking the good pitches and swinging at the bad ones.

These guys are giving way too much (leeway) for professional pitchers.

I should be in favor of this project. Thousands of people coming to me for recreation can only make me money.

We've got to get the bats going. Four runs in 33 innings is not going to do it. We're not facing Randy Johnson out there or Curt Schilling. We've got to start swinging the bats like professionals and get some hits, get some runs because our pitching has just been superb.

He's 3-0 and he hasn't even pitched as good as he can yet. He's a very competitive guy. Even when he doesn't have his best stuff, he still wins.

He was just like a machine, mowing 'em down. He's a very aggressive pitcher.

It's kind of funny because we still have a chance. As bad as things have gone here, if we win tomorrow we have Hayden Penn to pitch in Altoona (in the one-game playoff).
