"Sam (Jones) had the best curve ball I ever saw. He was quick and fast and that curve was terrific, so big it was like a change of pace. I've seen guys fall down on sweeping curves that became strikes. Righthanders thought Sam had the most wicked curve, and as a left-handed hitter, I thought it was positively the best." - Hall of Famer Stan Musial in Musial (1964)
