"Even though he was nicknamed 'Scrap Iron,' St. Louis catcher Clint Courtney didn't look so threatening—he was the first catcher to ever wear glasses. But he was a passionate man who liked his baseball as much as his beer. Courtney was a good hitter with an intense desire to win, but sometimes his intensity went too far and that's when his fire would really show." - Writer Sandra Cozzi in Rumble in St. Louis (April 28, 1953)
