Although Fregosi won the N.L. pennant with the Phillies in '93, he always had a rather, um, acrimonious relationship with the sports media while in Philadelphia, especially the city's all-sports radio station in town (WIP). Even years after Fregosi was fired by the Phillies, his famous comment to some Phillies beat writers about the city's all-sports station and its listening base took on a life of its own.

As much as even winning the pennant, Fregosi became known in town for this quote.

"People who listen to WIP are a bunch of guys in South Philly that **** their sisters, and the people that work at WIP **** their mothers."
