Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"I remember one time in 1936 when I was with the A's, I had my hair parted by a line shot off the bat of Joe Vosmik of the Indians. The drive hit the button of my cap and the centerfielder picked up the ball on one short hop. A little lower and it would have parted me in half. That was what you would call a narrow escape." - Pete Naktenis in The Hartford Courant (Charles Proctor, 08/05/2007)
