Did you know that hall of fame hurler Bob Feller hit his first major league home run off Auker saying "He found my bat, somehow" then described his pitching motion (SI.com, 08/04/2006) with, "He threw it from about as low as you could go without untying your shoes. Any lower and you'd scrape your knuckles on the pitching rubber."
