"Let me tell you a story about Gail Harris. Remember Bud Daley, left-handed pitcher with a crippled right arm? I think he was born that way. I played with Gail when we were both at Minneapolis and Bud Daley, a pitcher with Indianapolis, struck him out. Harris came back to the bench and he couldn't stand it, he got so mad. He got up in front of the dugout and he was yelling at Daley, 'You crooked-arm S.O.B.! You'll never strike me out again!' [laughs] I'll never forget that." - Wayne Terwilliger in The Pastime in Turbulence: Interviews With Baseball Players of the 1940s (Brent P. Kelley, Mcfarland & Company Publishers, 05/2001, Page 314)
