"I'm just using something I always had, a knuckleball. Something that a lot of managers and catchers talked me out of pitching when I was young, because they said I would hurt my arm. I might have been a great pitcher, one of those fellows who win 17 or 18 games a year over a long period of time, if I had started using my knuckler as regularly as I do now. I knew how to throw it when I first started pitching in Portland, and I was successful there. Then, when I got to the big leagues, a couple of managers, who didn't know any more about pitching than I know about raising bees, and a couple of catchers who used their heads only as hat-racks said, 'Don't throw that knuckler-it will hurt your arm." - Joe Bowman in The Sporting News (August 16, 1945, Dan Daniel)
