"They say their Sputnik was the first thing put in orbit, but that's not true. I had balls flying around up there long before they ever even thought about outer space. Heck, they used to say my best pitch was the rattle pitch. Every time I'd throw it, they'd rattle the boards with it." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution (April 14, 1987)
