"My fastball was my best pitch because I had excellent control of it. I wasn't afraid of walking everybody. I'd start with a knuckleball and go on through (my assortment of pitches.) As long as I could get somebody out with my knuckleball, I'd get 'em out. If I couldn't get 'em out with that or the curveball, I'd go to my fastball. But, I went right at 'em." - Tom Sturdivant on BaseballToddsDugout.com
