"That's his (Tony Cloninger) pitch, the hard one. His fastball is in the same class with Bob Gibson's, Bob Veale's, Jim Maloney's, Don Drysdale's, and those fellows. He's not a finesse man yet. When he gets to be, he'll be one of the great ones." - Braves Manager Bobby Bragan in Sport (February 1966)
