"'Old Folks,' as his Pirate teammates called him, was one of the slowest-working pitchers in the game. As a result of an elbow injury suffered in 1943, he developed a long, drawn-out windup. The delivery took time, but as Fritz said, 'I don't care if it takes me three hours to pitch a game. I don't have anything else to do all day.'" - The Sporting News (December 17, 1957)
