"All my career, I much preferred pitching to a left-hander than a right-hander, and I know that's just backward thinking because I was a righty. But my fastball ran. They called it a cut fastball. I could jam a left-hander, but had trouble pitching a right-handed hitter inside." - Tom Cheney in We Played the Game (Danny Peary, 1994)
