"One rival player, the Red Sox’ Duane Josephson, was asked to compare the difference between McLain’s current (1972) fastball to the heater he threw in 1968, when he won both the Cy Young and MVP for the Tigers. 'About 20 miles an hour,' Josephson said bluntly. 'McLain’s ball comes up to the plate as straight as a string.'" - Columnist Bruce Markusen in A Trade of MVPs (Historical Hot Stove, 06/25/2002)
