"That crash ruined my career. The lighting was poor (in Crosley Field on May 24, 1935) so I couldn't see the wall, but one of the other fielders yelled that I had plenty of room so I went for the ball, hit the wall, hurt my knee and knocked myself out. My knee was never right after that night." - Sammy Byrd in First Night Game Played in Majors (Baseball Digest, May 1975)
