Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Cliff Aberson) was up and down with the Cubs from 1947 through 1949, never quite reaching the heights the Bruins had expected of him. He was a powerful man, standing 6-1 and weighing 200 pounds. He once wrestled -- and beat -- a gorilla, having less trouble with the ape than with the curve." - Cliff Aberson Obituary (The Sporting News, July 14, 1973)
