Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"ENSIGN COTTRELL WAS a man who was successful at many things in life, but who never reached the level of achievement in the major leagues that some thought he might have. He was a gifted athlete and a scholar who was successful in college, in the minor leagues, and in his life after baseball. While in the major leagues, however, he received few opportunities to show his ability, and on the rare occasions when he played, did little to give his managers the inclination to give him more chances. Of the five major-league teams he played for, he appeared in a single game for three of them, and just two for a fourth, even though he spent a fair amount of time on their rosters." - Cottrell, Peter. Author / Grandson. The Miracle Braves of 1914: Boston's Original Worst-to-First World Series Champions. Nowlin, Bill. Editor. SABR Publishing. 2 February 2014. Page 14.
