"I (Phil Masi) always caught Jim Tobin because I could handle the knuckleball, which was about all he ever threw. He also had a very slow motion which made it easy for runners to steal on him. He was a good hitter, too - in 1942 he hit three home runs in a game against the Cubs. He also no-hit the Dodgers, 2-0, in 1944." - Catcher Phil Masi in Baseball Digest (February 1978)
