It should be no surprise one of the best quotes comes from Hall of Famer Bill O’Donnell.
When Billy-O lived in New Jersey and was in his heyday at the Meadowlands, he was known for driving fast both on the track and the highway.
One day, O’Donnell was trying to set a new land speed record when he was pulled over on the New Jersey Turnpike. A big ticket was looming. But upon inspection of O’Donnell’s license, the police officer was flabbergasted.
“Are you the Bill O’Donnell that drives at the Meadowlands?”
“Yes,” O’Donnell said.
“Wow, I can’t believe it,” the star-struck cop said in amazement. “I’ve always wanted to meet you.”
O’Donnell didn’t miss a beat.
“Well, I got here as fast as I could.”
He got off with a warning.
