"When I was scouting for the Cubs, I got a call from their GM and he told me to get on a plane and get to Chicago ASAP. He told me to go to Comiskey Park for the Negro League All-Star Game and instructed me to watch the shortstops playing that day. I did as he requested and reported to him that he better sign that shortstop (which happened to be Ernie Banks) today before any other team had the chance to talk to him." - Lennie Merullo
