"He'd (George Caster) throw his fast knuckler first, then follow with a good fast ball, then toss up the dancer. I've seen a lot of good hitters take all three pitches for strikes. And when they did swing at the fast one they'd better hit it for they wouldn't see it again." - Athletics Catcher Earle Brucker in Baseball Magazine (June 1947)
