"It seems only yesterday to Fred Hubert Norman when he signed a $40,000 bonus contract as a pitching phenom out of Jackson High in Miami, Florida. The Kansas City A's, who signed him, considered Norman to be the fastest left-hander operating in Miami since Al Capone." - Baseball Digest (Bill Braucher, June 1975)
