"He (Sam Jethroe) was the fastest human being I've ever seen, said the Dodgers' Don Newcombe, the first outstanding black pitcher in the majors and Jethroe's onetime teammate on the Dodgers' Montreal Royals farm team, for whom Jethroe stole 89 bases in 1949." - Columnist Richard Goldstein in The New York Times (06/19/2001, 'Sam Jethroe Is Dead At 83; Was Oldest Rookie Of The Year') |
