"Though an auto crash (at the end of World War II, the young supply sergeant was driving along a winding mountain road in Japan when he plummeted over a cliff) left him with a fractured back, John Paul Sullivan's competitive fire wouldn't let him give up the game he loved: baseball." - Sportswriter Andrew L. Wang in the Chicago Tribune (09/24/2007)
