"There aren't many pitchers of any age who are tougher (than Blue Moon Odom). Most guys who throw real hard throw straight. The harder they throw, the straighter the ball gets. Odom throws hard, but his ball always moves. The harder he throws, the more it moves. I think he's the best young pitcher in baseball." - Al Kaline in Sport (September 1969)
