"His (Wes Ferrell) best ball, of course, is his fast ball. But he also has a most servicable curve, such a curve as many pitchers fail to acquire in years of patient practice. And young and inexperienced as he is, he has developed a baffling change of pace." - Columnist F.C. Lane in Baseball Magazine (March 1930)
