"In 1972, if you had to choose any pitcher in the world to start one big game, Steve Blass would have been on your short list... In 1973, famously, the wheels came off of (his) career. He hit batters, he walked people, he threw pitches worthy of Nuke Laloosh, throwing behind hitters, bouncing pitches, terrifying mascots, and generally looking as lost as an Amish buggy on Broadway... And then his career was over. A disease was born." - Writer Kirk Robinson in Steve Blass, Cured (theBaseballpage.com, 06/01/2000)
