"The first thing I remember is that he was an excellent outfielder. He was known for his arm. It was known all over the (Canton) Class A league that you didn’t want to run on Mike Hershberger. He was a clutch hitter, a good contact hitter and he was a tough out." - Central Catholic Baseball Coach Doug Miller on The Independent (David Harpster, 07/03/2012, 'Baseball great, Tiger standout Mike Hershberger remembered', Source)
