"Thomas Edison Alston was a can't-miss prospect who somehow did. Lefty O'Doul, himself a career .349 hitter, called Alston "one of the greatest prospects I have ever seen." He was bright, hardworking, and eager to learn. He was a brilliant defensive first baseman and had good size and power. Just just never hit in the majors." - Author Larry Moffi and Jonathan Kronstadt in Crossing The Line: Black Major Leaguers, 1947-1959 (Larry Moffi & Jonathan Kronstadt, Bison Books Publishers, 12/01/2006, Page 108)
