"I really would like to pitch against some of the players that are playing now as opposed to the ones I pitched against when I was a young man playing. They don't have the training we had to go through in our era. The big leagues now are a training ground as compared with the minor leagues of 20 years ago. We were accomplished athletes when we came to the big leagues because we had all gone through the minors." - Don Newcombe in Ebony (January 1974, 'Whatever happened to... DON NEWCOMBE?', Page 122)
