"He's (Tom Underwood) got a sneaky, sinking fastball and that's excellent for our club because it means there'll be a lot of balls hit on the ground. And he throws strikes and he works fast." - Philadelphia Phillies Catcher Bob Boone in Baseball Digest (Bill Lyon, 'Tom Underwood: A New Super Pitcher in the Making,' September 1975, Page 47)
