"I don't know if he was a flame-thrower or not early in his career before he came to Washington, but he knew how to pitch. He always said he threw a 'dry spitter. I'd never heard of a 'dry spitter.'" - Whitey Herzog in St. Louis Today (01/28/2012, 'Musial teammate Bud Byerly dies; pitched in '44 Series', Source)
