"This great pitcher (Mort Cooper) used to chew aspirins on the mound to dull the pain caused by bone chips in his elbow. Mort had a very good fastball and good fork ball. He didn't walk anybody. It was a pleasure to play behind him because he knew where he was going to pitch the hitters and you could play them accordingly, confident of Cooper's control." - Stan Musial in Stan Musial: The Man's Own Story (Musial & Boe Broeg, 1964)
